The action seeks to enhance border security in the Southern Neighbourhood (SN), by fostering bilateral and regional co-operation.
The project will contribute to building trust, understanding, structured partnerships, and exchange of experiences/practices between Southern Neighbourhood countries and Frontex in the broader Integrated Border Management (IBM) domain. At the same time, it will provide tangible country-specific support to the national capacity building efforts based on needs identified by the partner countries.
