Significant improvement in the performance of security institutions in Chad with European support

The discussions addressed the reality of European support directed to the Chadian security sector, particularly with regard to strengthening the capabilities of the national police and defense and security forces, in addition to supporting governance paths and consolidating institutional stability, in a way that contributes to developing security performance and services provided to citizens.

During the meeting, the European expert praised the initial results produced by the support programs, considering that the current indicators reflect a positive impact in the areas of peacebuilding, strengthening governance and supporting stability, in addition to developing the capabilities of security institutions in Chad.
