Description (French)
Ce projet avec l'UNOCT, en collaboration avec la GRC, vise à améliorer les compétences techniques des agents des services de police des États membres bénéficiaires dans la conduite d'enquêtes antiterroristes efficaces et dans la lutte contre l'extrémisme violent. Les deux prochains cycles de la formation spécialisée sur les enquêtes antiterroristes (STOCTI) soutiendront une approche fondée sur le renseignement et un programme d'enquête solide pour les organismes africains participants chargés de l'application de la loi et les institutions académiques nationales. L'objectif de cette formation est de permettre aux pays africains de l'ONU non seulement de lutter contre les menaces terroristes croissantes dans leurs pays respectifs, mais aussi de créer une réponse cohérente et normalisée en faisant progresser la coopération régionale. Ce programme de formation spécialisée se déroulera au centre de l'UNOCT à Rabat et accueillera jusqu'à 36 participants d'au moins 7 pays africains à chaque cycle.
