In a statement, the EU Council (the body that brings together the Member States) said that it had approved this €15 million assistance measure under the European Peace Facility to strengthen "the operational capabilities of the Armed Forces of Côte d'Ivoire with a view to ensuring the security of the areas near the land borders and to combating the non-state armed groups that are destabilising the country and the entire West Africa region".
"Through the proposed assistance, the EU will provide equipment not designed to exert lethal force in order to improve the information, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities of the Ivorian Air Force through the acquisition of communication and data transmission equipment and unmanned aerial systems and will also strengthen the logistics and security of the military units deployed in the northern areas of Côte d'Ivoire by supplying multi-purpose vehicles and personal protective equipment," the institution listed.
Brussels added that "the delivery of the equipment will be accompanied by appropriate tactical and practical training, where applicable, in order to ensure the full effectiveness of the support and to derive maximum benefit from it".
The European Peace Facility was created in March 2021 to finance all EU actions in the military and defence fields, with the aim of preventing conflicts, preserving peace and strengthening international security and stability.
This instrument allows the EU to finance actions aimed at strengthening the capabilities of third countries and regional and international organisations in the military and defence fields.
