To help tackle this, the EU is supporting Nigerien authorities through our civillian Common Security and Defence Policy Mission EUCAP Sahel Niger with advice and training, in order to strengthen their capacities in the fight against terrorism and organised crime. The EU also committed to support the Joint Force of the G5 Sahel countries (Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Burkina Faso and Chad) with €50 million to improve security and cross border cooperation in the region.
Pour l'aider à faire face à cette situation, l'UE joue un rôle de premier plan dans le soutien de la Force conjointe des pays du Sahel G5 (Mauritanie, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso et Tchad) afin d'améliorer les conditions de sécurité et la coopération transfrontalière dans la région.
