The ReCAAP Signature - The globe symbolises the collaboration of the ReCAAP Contracting Parties and is reflective of the Information Sharing Centre's (ISC) status as an International Organisation. The three swirls which encircle the globe symbolise the network of relationships among Contracting Parties, and represent the three pillars of the ReCAAP, namely, Information Sharing, Capacity Building, and Cooperative Arrangements.
