Our Core Purposes
The RSO core purposes are to support Bali Process Members and Working Groups by:
1. Ensuring we are responsive to Bali Process Members and Working Groups.
2. Developing and delivering fit-for-purpose operational capacity-building activities relevant to the Bali Process’ mandate.
3. Providing support in policy development and promoting best practice to improve aspects of migration management, and responses to people smuggling, trafficking in persons and related transnational crime.
4. Actively engaging and promoting the RSO’s work to partners and dialogues outside the Bali Process structure.
