Focus area 9
Security
The 9th focus area of the Framework Agreement had been laid down via Government Decree 66/2010. (III.18).
The aim is: „ To enhance public and border security and to improve working conditions (infrastructure and logistics) of security related institutions”.
Since the organisations that are allowed to fulfil tasks on the area are determined by the law, selection of projects is not managed via open call for proposals. According to Art. 2.1. of Annex 2 of the Framework Agreement between the Swiss Federal Council and the Government of Hungary concerning the implementation of the Swiss-Hungarian Cooperation Programme declared by Government decree No. 348/2007. (XII.20.), projects favoured by the Government of Hungary had been identified.
Altogether 12 million CHF grant is allocated for the focus area, which is divided into a 2 million and a 10 million part.
2 million CHF allocation
The aim is to change the philosophy of the Hungarian police related to police work, to support the spreading of the concept of community policing, to strengthen public security and sense of self-security.
In line with 1241/2011. (VII. 15.) Government decree the Ministry of Interior submitted an application for the first loop in August 2011 with the title “Multilevel Community Policing Network (MCPN) for the cooperation based crime prevention”.
10 million CHF allocation
The call for proposals had been announced in line with 1275/2011. (VIII. 10.) Government decree aiming to enhance public and border security and to improve working conditions (infrastructure and logistics) of security related institutions.
