Title:

Supporting Eastern Africa in countering terrorist use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs)

Agreement Number:

7466650 P014773001

Agreement Value:

$4,142,242.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 6, 2025 - Mar 31, 2029

Description:

This project seeks to support national capacities within Kenya, Somalia and Uganda to develop, test and institutionalize systematic methods to gather IED evidence, and handle and respond in a whole-of-government approach across security and law enforcement entities. This aims to be achieved through the provision of training and activities on both upstream (pre-incident) and downstream (post-incident) counter-IED measures. Upstream training seeks to support officials in IED identification, control of IED precursors and components, and intelligence-led operations to interdict individuals or groups before the IED is manufactured or deployed. Downstream C-IED training seeks to enhance law enforcement capacity in scene exploitation and recovered evidence analysis, technical exploitation of recovered devices, component tracing, and the collection and handing of evidence from IED incidents.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) enhanced application of legislative frameworks and improved national and regional cooperation on countering terrorist acquisition and use of IEDs in Kenya, Somalia and Uganda; and (2) enhanced operational ability of law enforcement agencies in Kenya, Somalia and Uganda to investigate and mitigate IED threats.
