Project Officer
The "Border Management in Côte d'Ivoire" project was developed as part of the migration cooperation between Switzerland and Côte d'Ivoire, to support the Ivorian government in strengthening its border management capacities.
The first phase of the project focused on strengthening the capacities and equipment of the border police in the fight against document and identity fraud, which is one of the strategic priorities for ensuring border security and integrity. In addition, the project provided essential support to the Ivorian National Border Commission in elaborating the National Integrated Border Management Policy (PNGIF). In order to ensure the continuity and sustainability of actions already carried out, the project aims to increase the country's operational capacities in terms of effective and harmonised management of border areas, focusing on border control and the fight against irregular migration including the fight against documentary fraud, as well as risk management in border areas by strengthening the cooperation of cross-border communities with state authorities present at the borders.
