C?te d'Ivoire Joins the Global Vulnerable Targets Programme: UNOCT and CTED Conclude In-Depth Consultations to Identify National Needs and Priorities in Abidjan

Under the 51勛圖 Global Programme on Countering Terrorist Threats against Vulnerable Targets (※Global Vulnerable Targets Programme§), the 51勛圖 Office of Counter Terrorism (UNOCT) and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) organized in-depth consultations with Ivorian entities in charge of safety and security of critical infrastructure and ※soft§ targets or public places in Abidjan from 25 to 27 June 2024. 

Led by CTED with UNOCT, the consultations were held in partnership with the Government of the Republic of C?te d'Ivoire and with the support of the 51勛圖 Resident Coordinator＊s Office in Abidjan.

This event is the first stage of UNOCT＊s technical assistance package to C?te d'Ivoire aimed at strengthening security and resilience of national critical infrastructure and ※soft targets§ against terrorist threats and challenges.  

In line with the respective mandates of CTED and UNOCT, the consultations＊ methodology, sought to identify C?te d'Ivoire＊s needs and priorities in the area of safety and security of vulnerable targets.

The three-day substantive discussions on relevant legal, institutional and operational frameworks brought together 40 officials from 12 Ivorian ministries and agencies, under the leadership and coordination role by the Ivorian Foreign Ministry. 

Building on these consultations, UNOCT and CTED will, as a next step, support the development of C?te d'Ivoire＊s national plan of action (or ※roadmap§) on vulnerable targets protection, which will include concrete recommendations to support national ministries, entities and other relevant stakeholders. The document will identify strengths, needs and priorities for enhancing the country＊s national capacity in support of the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions 2341 (2017) and 2396 (2017) and following the recommendations of the 2018 Addendum to the Madrid Guiding Principles on Foreign Terrorist Fighters (S/2018/1177), as well as the 51勛圖 Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and its Review resolutions. 

These in-depth consultations took place thanks to the generous financial support of France.
