Protecting Communities II (ProCom II) EME

Protecting Communities II (ProCom II) is a multi year blended ODA/non-ODA programme designed to reduce those shared threats by strengthening Pakistan’s security, justice, and migration management systems. It builds on the previous UK-funded Cooperation on Serious Crime Programme (CSCP), moving to a longer-term platform that enables sustained engagement and deeper reform. ProCom II will take a “whole-of-route” approach. It will be aligned with the UK’s “Disrupt, Deter, Return” strategy: tackling the drivers of irregular migration at source, enhancing law enforcement cooperation to disrupt criminal networks, and facilitating the return of those with no right to remain in the UK. The Programme will adopt a systems-based design rooted in the UK’s CONTEST/SOC “4Ps” framework (Prevent, Pursue, Protect, Prepare) to ensure a comprehensive response. Crucially, it treats migration as a core element of security and justice reform – embedding the UK’s new migration policy thinking into development work.

The programme is positioned to reduce threats to the UK by

• Tackling irregular migration and protecting vulnerable populations and, particularly women and children from exploitation and abuse.
• Strengthening bilateral and multilateral collaboration to address transnational threats.
• Supporting institutional reform to improve accountability, access to justice, and rule of law.

With a budget of up to £15 m the timeframe for Implementation is 2027-2030 subject to need and availability of funding.
