In the autumn of 2003, JCIE was commissioned by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conduct an assessment of several projects funded by the Trust Fund on Human Security (TFHS), with a focus on how the human security concept has been incorporated and applied in TFHS-funded projects from the conception phase through the design and implementation processes. As part of the project, JCIE held a workshop in Tokyo on February 27 and 28, 2004, to discuss the preliminary findings and their implications with the projects’ UN field officers and partner organizations as well as Japanese politicians and government officials, UN representatives, and other experts on human security.
