NATO Membership Action Plan

The NATO Membership Action Plan (MAP) is a program designed to help countries aspiring to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). It provides a framework for these countries to develop their military capabilities, strengthen democratic institutions, and enhance cooperation with NATO forces. Through MAP, aspiring members receive advice, support, and guidance on reforms needed for effective membership. The goal is to ensure that candidate countries are prepared to meet NATO's standards and obligations, promoting stability and security in the region while encouraging collaboration among member states.
