Thematic Areas
Thematic areas of focus for the RSO include countering people smuggling and trafficking in persons, irregular migration, related transnational crime and the use of technology in these crimes. The RSO brings practitioners across Member States together through a regular programme of training activities, events, workshops and roundtables—supporting dialogue, policy development and coordination on key thematic areas.
Operational Capacity Building
The RSO works with regional partners to support the knowledge and skills development of operational personnel across the Bali Process membership through regional and national training workshops and online learning.
Research and Regional Trends
A focus on research and enquiry enables the RSO to support Member States to identify regional priorities relating to irregular migration trends, and to develop strategies to enhance regional awareness and improve the knowledge base.
