During the period from June 12 to June 13, 2017,  representatives of CARICC attended a technical operational meeting in Bishkek (Kyrgyz Republic), in facilities of the Central Office of the State Customs Service under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic (hereinafter – SCS KRG) to discuss an issue related to the establishment of an analytical database that would meet the requirements of SCS KRG.
The meeting was organized at the initiative of SCS KRG and with the support of UNODC Project XAC/K22 “Counteracting Trafficking of Opiates from Afghanistan through the Northern Route by Strengthening Capacities of Key Checkpoints and Establishment of Border Liaison Offices (BLO)”.
As part of this meeting, Mr. Sh. Berdaliyev, Deputy Chairperson of SCS KRG, noted that taking into account the massive volume of data received, the use of specialized analytical software is an indispensable condition for improving the quality of work of  relevant units of the Customs Service.
Moreover, Mr. Berdaliyev also thanked Mr. Yu. Kurbonov, Head of UNODC XAC/K22 Project, and CARICC leadership for support rendered in addressing SCS KRG tasks to establish its own analytical database (meeting today’s modern requirements) using IBM i2 software.
According to Mr. Yu. Kurbonov, this SCS KRG initiative is one of the clear examples of close, substantive and practical cooperation of competent authorities with international and regional organizations in the field of counteracting transnational crime.   
Following this technical meeting, participants to this event have developed a number of recommendations for organizing and conducting training sessions for SCS KRG staff aimed at acquiring basic skills in working with IBM i2 software with the support of UNODC XAC/K22 Project and involving CARICC instructor capacities. 
In addition, representatives of SCS KRG, CARICC and UNODC discussed and agreed on a plan for further activities in the medium term as part of implementation of the initiative of the State Customs Service under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic.
