With the aim of responding better to its strategic priorities, FRA started working in a new configuration on 16 November 2018. The agency created a new Institutional Cooperation and Networks Unit as well as a new Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Unit next to the existing Research and Data, Communications and Events, and Corporate Services Units. The Institutional Cooperation and Networks Unit shall work closely with FRA’s EU, international, and national partners to reinforce human rights systems and frameworks. The Technical Assistance and Capacity Building Unit shall help improve FRA’s realtime assistance and expertise.
