An OSCE-supported five-day training course on presentation skills for instructors of the National Security Committee’s Border Guard Service and the Central Asian Regional Information and Coordination Centre for Combating Illicit Trafficking of Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances and their Precursors (CARICC) concluded on 17 February 2017 in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The course, co-organized by the OSCE Programme Office in Astana, the United States Embassy in Kazakhstan and CARICC, provided some 20 participants from across the country the opportunity to enhance their skills in public speaking, communication and effective information presentation.

Experts from the global training team of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration’s Office of Training presented lessons on impromptu speaking, addressing speech anxiety, effective communication skills and the importance of body language in presentations.

The course is part of the Office’s long-standing efforts to build capacity of border security officials in the host country.
