In the field of education and training, gender-perspective modules have now been included in most of NATO's pre-deployment training efforts. This is an area where we feel we can benefit from the experience of other international organisations and we are thus pleased to be contributing to a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) project aimed at Supporting Gender Mainstreaming in Security Sector Reform in the Western Balkans. We hope that this, and similar cooperation which we have already begun with the United Nations, the European Union and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, will continue and deepen over the course of the coming year.
