It seeks to enhance counter-terrorism capacities addressing the transnational threat posed by Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in this region. The project does so by providing law enforcement professionals modernized equipment and training to strengthen inclusive and gender-responsive strategies for preventing, detecting and combatting terrorism in the Middle East and North Africa region. Project activities include: (1) investigating crime scene; (2) providing effective border management techniques; (3) delivering gender-sensitive training for frontline law enforcement officers, border officers and women police cadets; and (4) establishing regional working groups for enhanced cross-border coordination and information sharing.
