Since October 2018, the EU Border Assistance Mission in Rafah (EUBAM Rafah) and the General Administration for Borders and Crossings (GABC) have worked jointly to enhance GABC’s capacity to present its own image to the public; one of the key objectives of the Mission. With the help of a Finnish communications consultant, a Media Communication Strategy was successfully drafted.

On 19 June 2019, the Mission held the last of a number of sessions under the Media Communication Strategy project. This last workshop aimed at enhancing corporate news production and focused on identifying corporate news opportunities and storytelling techniques. The consultant used a number of exercises and scenarios to engage GABC participants who reflected on their knowledge and existing experiences.

The workshop was attended by 10 participants from the counterpart’s Media Department and was held in GABC training center in Jericho.

The European Union Border Assistance Mission at the Rafah Crossing Point – code name EUBAM Rafah – was launched in November 2005 to monitor the operations of the border crossing point between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, after Israel and the Palestinian Authority concluded an Agreement on Movement and Access on 15 November 2005.
