It identifies the roles and objectives of these actors, notes some of their successes and failures, and outlines how failed capacity-building initiatives have generated an environment conducive to the proliferation of organized crime and transnational terrorism. It concludes with proposals to better coordinate capacity-building efforts and improve their effectiveness.
