Each of these pillars have various objectives, actions, indicators, along with implementation periods and responsible actors. The NAP also outlines a detailed monitoring and evaluation plan and states that the identified actions will be implemented in partnership with various government ministries and civil society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malta does not have a recent history of armed conflict, but participates in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/eunavfor.eu\/malta-joins-eu-navfor-in-fight-against-pirates\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operation Atalanta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a European Union military operation to prevent piracy and armed robbery at sea off the Horn of Africa and in the Western Indian Ocean.
