The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

3. Dear GTSC Members, Government Partners, Supporters, and Friends,
Congratulations on another tremendous year! When I write this annual note, I think, “What have we done
this year of which we can be proud? What progress have we made in the mission to secure our country?” I am
thrilled to report, building on our tradition, our list of accomplishments continues to grow.
This year, GTSC acquired one of the most prestigious voices in homeland security—the Homeland Security Today (HSToday)
magazine and media platform. The media hub is now a non-profit voice for the homeland security mission, and we are
thrilled with the level of engagement and interest from our members, prestigious partners, and the broader community.
GTSC’s vision for this news platform is to make it the source for constructive, collaborative homeland security dialogue,
analysis, and news coverage. We aspire to share information that will help state and local governments understand the
threats and how to mitigate them, that helps federal officials get their message out in full, and that helps our government
partners in all jurisdictions understand the private sector innovations that can help them stay safe and protect our nation.
Thank you to everyone who has come out to support the new HSToday with editorial input, ideas, and articles! Please keep
them coming!
In 2017, GTSC, along with the Non-Commissioned Officers Association, launched a GovCon Academy for transitioning
military veterans. Together, GTSC and NCOA will help veterans who want to come back and support the mission of a secure
nation by providing them with first-class sessions and seminars about government contracting. GTSC members also
participated in an unprecedented number of “Reverse Industry Days” hosted across the government enterprise, starting at
the Department of Homeland Security and moving to the Department of Treasury and the General Services Administration.
We also launched our GTSC Days website presence to feature our extremely popular and valuable sessions that provide
members and community with a “deep-dive” into the components at DHS.
And that’s just the NEW stuff!
We also continued our traditional programming, bringing you insight into your government partners, the best sessions to
prepare your internal capacity to do business, and networking rivalled by no other organization. Membership increased this
year by nearly 20% and we’ve seen many more companies devoted to helping our government partners achieve mission join
to support GTSC. We are extremely pleased to see that.
Overall, 2017 has been a tremendous year made possible by our active, caring, devoted members and our diligent,
committed, amazing, government partners. I want to take a moment to thank ALL of the people who throughout the year
take time out of their schedules to work on a program with us, to speak to us, to engage in a substantive and meaningful
conversation around how we can do better. That essential collaboration is how we work together to ensure that our children
are safe and our nation is secure. In the end, “It’s All About Mission.” Are you wearing YOUR button??
Thank you all for your contributions to a tremendous year. We couldn’t do it without you, and we wouldn’t want to.
Yours,
Kristina Tanasichuk

4. ABOUT US
GTSC focuses on the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security, Justice,
Defense, State, Treasury and the
Office of the Director of National
Intelligence.
The Government Technology & Services Coalition (GTSC)
is a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(6) trade association of
innovative, agile, small and mid-size company CEOs that
create, develop, and implement solutions for the Federal
homeland and national security sector. These companies
founded the Coalition to band together and work with
their Federal partners to achieve their mission - despite
significant budget challenges - by bringing the innovation,
creativity and ingenuity of successful small businesses to
the homeland and national security mission. These CEOs
-- many former government officials -- joined together to
share best practices, information and resources, to lead
the initiatives and solutions that would bring the best of our
community together to protect our homeland.

IT’SABOUTMISSION. Our Mission is to provide
exceptional advocacy, capacity building, partnership opportunities and
marketing in the Federal security space for small and mid-sized companies.
To do that, we believe that GTSC must help our Federal partners achieve
their critical missions with the highest integrity; best and most innovative
technologies; and results-based, quality products and services to prevent,
protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from any terrorist attack or
natural disaster.

GTSC works to educate our members through the following types of sessions:
INSIGHT
SESSIONS
The Market Solution Series provides an inside
look at creative, successful interactions and
challenges that may be impeding growth in the
Federal homeland and national security market.
These intimate roundtables take members
inside the “story” and allow them to understand
the market components and forces that result in
success. This series was developed in response
to members who were interested in creative
ways to partner and team to win business with
the Federal government.
MARKET
SOLUTION
SERIES
No one understands the challenges and unique
demands of our market like someone who
has grown a successful company in it. CEOs of
successful member companies join members to
share their insights, lessons learned and advice
for others working in the Federal homeland and
national security markets.
The GTSC Business Development Exchanges
(BDEs) are member-led trusted environments
to meet and develop potential teaming partners,
improve business development efforts and
share information among peers. GTSC currently
supports BDEs in the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of
Defense.

ROUNDTABLES
CAPACITY
BUILDING
MENTOR
SESSIONS
GTSC Insight sessions host federal or
Congressional officials to discuss challenges in
the federal security mission, host workshops
on engagement with the Federal customer,
and promote the exchange of innovative ideas
between the public and private sector.
Every company - small to large - faces a host of
growing pains and internal challenges to meet
the needs of success. Through exceptional
relationships with an A-list of advisors, mentors
and luminaries in corporate growth, GTSC
hosts hands-on sessions to provide member
companies with the best tools available to them
to build their internal capacity and further their
growth.
Throughout the year, executives from our
mentor companies join our members and
others from our broader community to share
their advice and perspectives on the homeland
and national security markets. These sessions
provide invaluable insight into how large
corporations are positioning themselves in
the market, opportunities for teaming and
partnership and relationship building between
large and small firms.
For six years, the Government Technology & Services Coalition has carefully
developed a deep dive into the components and missions of the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security. Since 2011, beginning with our inaugural CBP Day, the
model and concept has grown across the Department to offer government and
private sector partners an opportunity to understand and tackle critical mission
challenges together. An intimate, relaxed environment encourages participants
to speak frankly and participate in meaningful exchanges to advance innovation,
security best practices, and understand the market dynamics that result in the
best products and services being offered to solve the nation’s security needs.

6. GTSC provides its members with numerous opportunities to have their voices heard on decisions, planning, and operations with our
government partners. GTSC actively participates with the mission and procurement officials responsible for the decisions that can
make or break your company. We have developed a number of active workgroups:
INDUSTRYOUTREACH
Across government our partners have struggled with finding
the appropriate mechanisms to reach out to industry to inform
and problem solve. GTSC has worked with companies and
agencies to help current and potential government contractors
understand their clients and their mission, and with our
government partners to find innovative ways to bring their needs
to the contracting community.
DEBRIEFACTIONGROUP
The De-Brief Action group has been active since day one. Given
a de-brief can make or break your next proposal opportunity,
members have taken a special interest and focus in improving the
content and timeliness of these important learning experiences.
Since its inception the group has helped train Federal officials
and in 2016 developed a suggested mock-debrief process.
Debrief Action Group Lead:
Andrea Stone, CEO,
Dynamic Pro, Inc
DHSBUSINESSDEVELOPMENT
EXCHANGE
Our DHS Business Development Exchange is a focused group
that shares information and teams to pursue opportunities at
DHS. The purpose is to help GTSC companies active at DHS to
be more efficient in their Business Development efforts.

BUSINESSWORKSHOPSFOR
GOVERNMENT
Meeting with Executive Officials throughout the Federal
government, the Government Technology & Services Coalition
heard repeatedly that everyone wanted – and needed – a better
understanding of the private sector. To that end, GTSC hosts
four workshops that provide a mini “MBA” on the lifecycle,
process, challenges and decisions that companies face as they
enter and grow in the Federal market.
Taught by CEOs and C-suite level executives from the GTSC
membership, these workshops increase the understanding and
exchange between industry and government. Members of the
GTSC’s Lion’s Den were asked to present a 3.5 hour workshop on
the mid-tier process before contracting officers at DHS. If you
are interested in more information or would like to schedule a
workshop, please contact us at: www.GTSCoalition.com
NEWIN2017:EMERGINGSMALL
BUSINESSGROUP
We launched our Emerging Small Business Group in April, geared
towards companies with a revenue under $2.5 million but open to
all our members. The sessions focus on strategic sessions with
a small business representative from one of our agencies. The
Emerging Small Business Groups welcomes ideas for speakers or
topics from its member companies.

MEMBER ENGAGEMENT
ACQUISITION&PROCUREMENT
ACTIONGROUP
Our federal partners face numerous obstacles when buying
the things they need, when they need them. Rapidly changing
technology, delayed procurements, protests, lack of
information sharing, and workforce challenges are just a few
of the road blocks. Through the Acquisition & Procurement
Action Group, GTSC has been working with the procurement
officers within our partner agencies to improve the acquisition
and procurement process. This action group focuses on
providing member input to improve federal outreach to small
and mid-sized businesses and assuring that our members
have a seat at the table. Through this group, GTSC members
also engaged heavily in the Federal “Reverse-Indsutry-Days”
hosted by the Departments of Homeland Security, Treasury,
and the General Services Administration. All GTSC members
are welcome to participate.
Acquisition & Procurement
Action Group Lead:
Carolyn Muir, Executive Vice
President, SE Solutions
Reverse Industry Day Planning & Participation
GTSC was one of the first industry groups to develop the
Reverse Industry Day model with the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security. The forums, meant to educate
contracting workforces on business process and decision-
making have taken hold across the Federal government and
GTSC is one of the leading non-profits assisting the U.S.
Departments of Homeland Security, Treasury, State, General
Services Administration, Office of Personnel Management,
and the U.S. Army. GTSC has developed an amazing cadre of
members committed to helping their government partners
improve the acquisition and procurement process and assure
they get the best of what the private sector has to offer.
7. This year GTSC has continued our effort to build our community by participating in charity efforts on behalf of homeland
security causes. GTSC members came out in force to support the Border Patrol Foundation’s Border Heroes Classic Golf
Tournament.
In October we continued our effort for the Border Patrol Foundation, supporting the
WHS Cook-Off & STEM expo. This fabulous family fun day is in its seventh year and in
2017 supported the Border Patrol Foundation and the WHS STEM Initiative.

Partnership with Non-Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA)
NCOA and GTSC partnered on two initiatives this year. In
the spring we announced a joint partnership at NCOA’s
Annual Conference and Expo in Las Vegas, NV. The
organizations will work together to develop expos to meet
the needs of transitioning veterans, find and offer training
for veterans, and work with GTSC members to identify the
skills needed, and jobs available. GTSC will work with its
members to identify gaps in their labor pools, strategize on
future needs, and work to match appropriate transitioning
military personnel with high quality employment.
In July GTSC and NCOA ramped up their partnership and
launched the NCOA GovCon Academy, a series of
in-person and online courses on Government Contracting
for transitioning veterans.
Special thanks to our Strategic Advisors from GTSC
that joined the faculty, including:
Earl Holland, CEO, Growth Strategy Consultants
Amy McDougal, CEO, CleaResources
Jackie Santisteban, President, Government Sales Advisors

18. EXPANDING OUR VOICE:
THE ACQUISITION OF
IN OCTOBER 2017, GTSC
ACQUIRED HOMELAND
SECURITY TODAY
MAGAZINE AND MEDIA
PLATFORM.
GTSC acquired HSToday to put real facts and analysis in
context to tell the stories of homeland security in a way
no other outlet can.
Since 2004, HSToday has been an essential resource and
news platform for the homeland security community,
catering to: professionals within the Department of
Homeland Security and other agencies with homeland
security responsibilities like the FBI, ODNI, Treasury
etc.; state and local law enforcement and emergency
responders; members of the Intelligence Community;
legislators, policymakers and regulators; professionals,
business leaders and analysts in the private, nonprofit and
academic sectors. Going forward, HSToday will continue
to offer coverage on pressing homeland security
issues, drawing on unbiased writing, expert voices
and a commitment to collaboration with the security
community.
The new HSToday will focus on telling the whole story
and particularly articulate the challenges faced by the
Department of Homeland Security, Justice, and others
engaged in the work of securing the nation. Rather than
overworked generalist reporters struggling to cover the
most superficial homeland issues, we are a collection of
subject matter experts embracing a culture of objectivity
to deliver real news value to our colleagues in the
homeland security community.
The new focus is on security
practitioners and analysts, not
journalists.

The Government Technology & Services Coalition’s
Homeland Security Today (HSToday) is now the premier
news and information resource for the homeland security
community, dedicated to elevating the discussions and
insights that can support a safe and secure nation. A non-
profit magazine and media platform, HSToday provides
readers with the whole story, placing facts and comments
in context to inform debate and drive realistic solutions
to some of the nation’s most vexing security challenges.
HSToday’s contributors and editors hail from throughout
the homeland security community. They are the thinkers
and doers who shape and implement the United States’
security methodologies, strategies and tactics. From
policymaking in Washington, DC, to operations in
challenging security environments, HSToday’s vast
network of experts deliver the most authoritative, timely
coverage of America’s efforts to address threats
man-made and natural.

devoted to the homeland and national security market. Their success, the result
of exceptional work for their clients and their outstanding business acumen,
has graduated them to “other than small” status in the federal market. This
designation creates new and difficult challenges for mid-sized companies
now ineligible for set-asides and facing intense competition from very large
companies. The Lion’s Den is focused on creating and supporting programs,
policies, and ventures to support the continuum of growth from small to
mid-sized through partnership, advocacy, and increased business opportunities.

GTSC members believe that numerous public and private sector officials work to protect the homeland every day. These
heroes work on the challenges and issues that are critical to achieving the mission of protecting our homeland with little
to no recognition. GTSC developed our Annual Awards celebration to recognize these heroes and raise awareness of their
contributions to the homeland and national security mission. Nominations are held annually and are open for the month of
October. Anyone can nominate an individual or team for a GTSC Award.
