Technical assistance in the framework of the implementation of the cooperation programme for national security between Senegal and the European Union (SENSEC-UE)

The project aims to support the Senegalese authorities and services in charge of national security (police and national gendarmeries, customs and the Ministry of Justice) by providing them with technical assistance to improve their efficiency, effectiveness and accountability in the fight against the greatest threats faced by the agreement’s signatories.

To achieve this global aim, a goal has been fixed for each of the project’s three components:

• The national security services are better equipped to combat terrorism and organised crime;
• The national security services are better equipped to perform border control and surveillance duties including in the fight against irregular migration;
• Improved governance of the national security services to ensure the safety of people and goods.
