Commission provides EUR 20 million to combat organised crime

On 18 December 2023, the Commission published a call for proposals under the Internal Security Fund (ISF) to co-fund projects aiming to fight organised criminal networks. This call, with an overall budget of EUR 20 million, will support the work of law enforcement, international organisations, civil society and other actors in dismantling criminal networks and their business models.

The funding aims to tackle two specific types of organised crime: drug trafficking and trafficking in human beings. These crimes are often committed by criminal networks and require particular attention due to the harm they cause to both citizens and society.

This initiative is part of the ISF Thematic Facility Work programme 2023-25, which supports EU national authorities and civil society organisations in tackling and dismantling organised crime networks.
