The knowledge gap between countries is often wide and growing due to the unbalanced economic and social growth as well as the lack of international cooperation and coordination. This situation is not only between countries but within them, including some of the most prosperous. In June 2010, the global project GLOU61 UNODC Global Integrated (e)Learning and Innovation Programme– making the world safer from drugs, crime and terrorism - was approved. This project aims at addressing the shortcomings and lessons learned from the past with a focus on sustainability, monitoring and evaluation while continuing as funding allows for the design, development and delivery of standardised learning tools to be reachable by any public official, in any working conditions and location, in order to reduce barriers to accessing knowledge and to promote cooperation.
