 Introduction
The Civil-Military Co-operation (CIMIC) is the means by which
the military command establishes formal relations with national
and local authorities, the civilian population, international
organisations and non-governmental organisations within its Area
of Responsibility.
The CIMIC activities are linked to sectors such as:
infrastructures, humanitarian aid, economy and market, culture and
education, administration and public affairs.
Non-specialised teams are first sent into the territory and
employ their knowledge and competencies to accompany, guide
and assist government representatives and industrial experts while
they study a situation, establish plans and co-ordinate actions.
 Comprehensive approach

NATO recognises that the

military cannot resolve crisis
Crisis management or conflict by itself. Modern A successful resolution to the
requirements have crises and conflicts are often conflict will depend on a

duration, tasks carried out, and therefore require both the military’s and the
actors involved, complexity assistance from outside the non-military actors’ purpose,
and multitude of factors military. resolve, capabilities, and

environmental…).
Civil-military
interaction
“A group of activities, founded on
communication, planning and coordination,
that all NATO military bodies share and
conduct with international and local non-
military actors, both during NATO
operations and in preparation for them,
thereby mutually increases the effectiveness
and efficiency of their respective actions in
response to crises.”
Project management

A CIMIC project is a specific task undertaken by the

military force either in isolation or in partnership with one or
more non-military actors. Conducting CIMIC projects in
isolation can only be the exception in an environment where
non-military actors are not able to operate. In all other
scenarios, a partnership is essential and will enhance the
feasibility and sustainability of a project (local ownership).
Normally, the government or non-military actors are responsible
for the provision of basic needs and services.

 Project approach
1. Requirement: Ensure the project is requested.
2. Assessment: Ensure the project is in support of the commander’s
mission.
3. Screening: Ensure there is a need and no duplication of effort.
4. Acceptance: Ensure local ownership.
5. Execution: Ensure local involvement.
6. Completion: Ensure there are no additional hidden commitments and
the project will be maintained and sustained.
7. Transition: Make sure the project is handed over in full and
sustainable local responsibility.
Quick Impact
Projects in UN
missions
UN mission quick impact projects (QIP) are
funded from peacekeeping budget, and are intended
to provide a flexible disbursement facility to
support, at short notice, local level, non-recurrent
activities in the areas of health, education, public
infrastructure and social services, that are designed
to promote and facilitate the UN peace support
effort in the given country.

increase the ability to provide essential services for the entire population and at the same
time make the water supply in the village more effective.
The other civil-military cooperation project was developed in the municipality of Klina /
Kline, a municipality with a majority of Muslim and Catholic ethnicity. In this context,
there was a delivery of educational material, clothing and toys to the orphanage called the

24/04/2023
In recent weeks, the specialists of the CIMIC
Multinational Group have donated some medicines supplied
by the ONLUS Pharmaceutical Bank.
The medicines donation activity, already carried out in
recent years, aims to meet the needs that the hospitals of
Djibouti have to face due to the unavailability, by the state
structure, of supplies.
The donation is part of a collaboration agreement,
signed in May 2018, between the Joint Operational
Command, the Military Ordinary and the ONLUS Banco
Farmaceutico Foundation, aimed at developing
pharmaceutical assistance to populations living in
conditions of poverty in the Theaters of Operation of
contingents abroad.

 Civil-military cooperation
priorities 2023+
With its civil-military intergovernmental status, EUROCONTROL is a unique pan-
European Organisation which, through its Civil-Military Cooperation (CMC) Division,
provides technical and operational solutions to support military and civil aviation through
an effective network of all relevant players to help ensuring military mission effectiveness
and civil flight efficiency in a sustainable and secure aviation environment.
2023+ priorities:
 Civil-Military Cooperation and support to States, Stakeholders, EU, ICAO and NATO
 FUA solutions for airspace dynamicity, flexibility and sustainability
 CNS optimisation & Civil-Military CNS Interoperability
 Civil-Military secure data-sharing in an automated SWIM environment
 Military Network Requirements n Improve the ATM security posture of stakeholders in
an evolving threat environment
 SESAR 3, Common Projects & European Defence funds
 Experiences in missions and operations have

Conclusion
demonstrated that interrelations of cause and effect
as well as interdependencies between military
operations and civil actors are complex and
demanding. As a result, military action alone has
proven to be insufficient to prevent or manage crisis.

Therefore it should not come to a surprise that

success in operations requires enhanced interaction
amongst the military and civil actors, at all levels
before and during engagement.
