About Us
Agenfor International Security is an independent branch from the long stablished Agenfor Group, is the International member of non-for profit network Agenfor Group, specialized in participative security. Main office is in Tirana (Albania), with branches in Milano (Italy), Padova (Italy), Lugano (Switzerland), Tripoli (Libya) and al-Qamashly (Syria). Specific sectors of interests are security and human rights. Our mission is the balancing of relationships between International agencies, states, nations and individuals within the post-modern societies.
The European Convention on Human Rights is the compass we use to navigate the rights of individuals, communities and nations co-habiting under the organization of the State. Over the past years Agenfor has lead several EU funded projects operating in the field of prison and probation, minorities, and counter radicalization.
In doing so, Agenfor has been collaborating with Organizations such as Scotland Yard, Guardia Civil and the Italian Ministry of Justice – Department for Penitentiary Administration, training thousands of practitioners in Italy and abroad and engaging in several dissemination activities through the network Equal is More, coordinated by its swiss office.
The network is participated also by the University of Granada, the Fundacion Euro-Arabe (Granada) and the University of Prague.
Agenfor International Security is dedicated to promoting security by safeguarding human rights and encouraging socio-political engagement, with a specific emphasis on minorities, prisoners, and other vulnerable populations. Our work heavily relies on partnerships between public and private entities, as well as the adoption of multi-agency approaches. We actively engage in counter-radicalization efforts through the provision of training courses and research initiatives that cater to the requirements of front-line practitioners from both the public and private sectors across Europe.
