The project is designed to bolster the forensic capabilities of the National Police as part of the broader «The Ukraine Family Reunification Initiative.» With the ultimate goal of reuniting Ukrainian children with their families as a consequence of the war, the project encompasses several key activities. These include the delivery of mobile forensic equipment to enable swift DNA sample gathering, an analysis of international best practices in creating and managing genomic information databases for an update to the national database «SLID,» and the enhancement of the knowledge and skills of National Police forensic experts in utilizing new equipment and approaches for DNA data collection. The anticipated outcomes include strengthened capacities within the National Police for applying DNA identification approaches and the establishment of a foundation for a systematic approach to child reunification with families, encompassing enhanced technical capacities, database development, improved skills of forensic units, and increased awareness among war-affected individuals.
