| Project Detail |
The Gulf of Guinea, Nigeria, and Niger Delta suffer from major and regular maritime insecurity that range from piracy, armed robbery, and kidnapping to illegal oil bunkering, trafficking, and smuggling.
The Support to West Africa Integrated Maritime Security (SWAIMS) programme is a multi-country intervention, covering member states of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) under the European Union-West Africa regional Indicative Programme—Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo, as well as Mauritania with a specific focus on coastal countries.
Our project supports the SWAIMS programme to improve maritime security and safety in the Gulf of Guinea.
Our team focuses on ensuring effective organization of the overall SWAIMS programme and operational implementation of specific activities—strengthening governance and law enforcement frameworks against maritime crimes, operational capacities, and response by law enforcement. |
