EUCAM-OSF
The EUCAM-OSF project is a continuation of the EUCAM I project (2008-2010). We have broadened our scope from strictly monitoring the EU strategy for Central Asia to assessing broader European policies that might also include activities by non-EU member states as well as the OSCE and NATO. In doing so we look at a variety of issues and themes such as: political, economic and social processes; democracy and human rights; security, energy, and international assistance. EUCAM-OSF is supported by the Open Society Foundations (OSF). OSF has supported FRIDE's research on Central Asia from the outset. In this project cycle EUCAM will produce a series of short and to-the-point policy briefs and exercise an effective outreach strategy which will help us have our voice heard and disseminate our papers among policymakers, legislators and experts.
EUCAM-SD
The EUCAM-SD project focuses on the link between security challenges in the Central Asian region and the need for development in the broadest sense, including governance, poverty reduction, ethnic tension and social equality. For the EUCAM-SD project FRIDE and the Karelian Institute of the University of Eastern Finland will produce a series of in-depth working papers/reports that will offer new insights and creative thinking on Europe's role in promoting security and development in Central Asia. The deliverables are based on thorough (field) research by qualified European and Central Asian experts. The project also foresees a series of public events in Europe and Central Asia. EUCAM-SD is supported by the Wider Europe Initiative of the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
EUCAM I (completed)
EUCAM started out as a project implemented by FRIDE and CEPS in September 2008. EUCAM I concluded in February 2010 with an extensive report on EU-Central Asia relations. EUCAM I was supported by the Open Society Institute, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, the Czech Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
