In January 2021, the Network approved its work programme choosing the European Green Deal, Digitalisation and Assessment of the Network as the main thematic priorities. This report outlines how the JHAAN work programme for 2021 has been implemented.

The report also includes, as an annex, a report entitled Assessment of the Justice and Home Affairs Agencies’ Network: Report 2021. The assessment includes a quantitative analysis of the overall organisation of the Network and a quality-based reflection on its practical organisation and content. This Assessment report highlights the main outcomes of this process. It provides an overview of the key achievements of the Network as well as observations regarding the Network’s format and functioning, so it can be strengthened to make it even more effective.
