Justice and Home Affairs

The EU aims at creating an EU wide area of Justice and Security by developing cooperation and common policies on various cross border issues. However, internal security cannot be achieved while ignoring outside factors and actors. Measures taken in the areas of Justice and Home Affairs, which include guaranteeing fundamental rights, free movement of citizens, civil protection, asylum and immigration matters, common investigations into cross-border organised crime, the EU's security strategy, including the fight against terrorism and organised crime, cybercrime and violent radicalization, can most cases unfold their full impact only, partner countries worldwide subscribe to it.

EMS expertise can greatly contribute to small and large scale efforts in this field, as our expert pool offers excellent skills and knowledge in all mentioned direction of Justice and Home Affairs

Good Governance

The concept of "governance" as the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented is as old as human civilization. Good governance, so Kofi Annan, the former UN General Secretary, “is ensuring respect for human rights and the rule of law; strengthening democracy; promoting transparency and capacity in public administration”.

At EMS we want to contribute through our projects to fostering “Good Governance” in beneficiary countries. We therefore have built up expertise in reforming public administration and institutions towards a participatory, consensus oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive service for citizens, which follows the rule of law. Modern state actors and services assure that corruption is minimized, the views of minorities are taken into account and that the voices of the most vulnerable in society are heard in decision-making. They also make sure that their actions are responsive to the present and future needs of society.

Migration

Migration management is a core competency of our firm. We are able to map refugee streams, analyse barriers and assess local capacities for sheltering them. 

Information Technology

During last years the demand for e-services, especially for simple, fast and transparent delivery of services to citizens through public sector institutions has grown rapidly. Against the background of the continuously increasing importance of e-solutions and cyber security, we have partnered up with one of Europe's leading providers in the field of IT and cyber security. Based on this cooperation we can offer for all our projects the full range of services in the field of e-governance, with the experience of more than 50 successfully implemented projects in over 30 countries.

EMS implemented projects are contributing to especially an IT enabled efficient, transparent and accountable government, the modernization of public (centralized) procurement and introduction of high-end systems for the justice sector.
