Activities are implemented by advisers, led by Regional Team Leaders. Methodologically and operationally, the Project is maintained by police advisers, local community mediators and local programmatic and administrative staff.

  9. Reports on all cases in which (CSI) staff have been a victim of criminal acts or any security related incidents and following up on those cases;
  10. Performs other related duties as assigned such as ensuring in close co-operation with IT, good state of repair of all security and communications equipment and that the appropriate level of confidentiality is maintained with regard to security matters.
