JMOC assists clients in the following key sectors:
Project management
JMOC delivers client projects efficiently, accountably and transparently. To guarantee proper ownership and accreditation, projects bear only the name of funding partners and clients.
JMOC project managers are field experts with years of implementation experience in conflict-affected, natural disaster and humanitarian crisis environments. Using internationally recognized methods and procedures, JMOC technical and project management specialists work closely with clients to identify and meet their needs.
JMOC offers a global network of suppliers and specialized expertise in local procurement and governance-related goods and technologies. On behalf of five donors JMOC has procured vehicles and security equipment for border crossing and project use, as well as IT and communications equipment for the European Union Coordination Office for the Palestinian Police Support (EUCOPPS) programme. In 2007 JMOC procured goods for the PA worth more than $1 million.
Governance
At the request of the PA, JMOC has implemented two major, rule of law projects that underpin the success of other critical programmes. JMOC work in this context includes:
- Training and developing the capacity of specialized, commercial crossing security units, thereby ensuring the safe and efficient movement of goods
- Assisting with the construction of training colleges to improve safety and security and foster confidence in government institutions
- Facilitating procurement of critical supplies, including life-support, vehicles and security equipment
JMOC partnered with the Government of the Netherlands to train a team to secure the operations of the Karni Crossing project. As a result the Karni Crossing was open more than 85 per cent of its scheduled time during the latter half of 2007, compared to 20 per cent earlier in the year. Imports increased 25 per cent and exports 35 per cent due to increased confidence and more efficient checking systems.
