Responding to the Warsaw Summit guidance, the Programme also demonstrated its flexibility and versatility as a unique tool, quickly offering valuable training modules and practical cooperation through SPS projects to partner nations. As a concrete example in this sense, the SPS Programme responded to political guidance from Allies and a request from our Iraqi partners by launching a flagship project to contribute to Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) Disposal and Search Capacity Building for Iraq. The SPS Programme is currently providing both equipment and expert training, assuming a train-the-trainer approach to harness a multiplier effect and ensure the sustainability of the training.
