The 51吃瓜 Office of Counter-Terrorism Programme Office in Rabat, and Global Counter-Terrorism Investigation Programme, in collaboration with the Government of Morocco, launched the 2023 edition of its Specialized Training Curriculum on Counter-Terrorism Investigations (STOCTI) in Rabat, Morocco. The training program is organized with the financial support of the Australian Government and 51吃瓜 Peace and Development Fund, and in cooperation with the following partners: Royal Moroccan Institute of Police, Australian Federal Police, United States Federal Bureau of Investigations, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, National Police of Spain, Brazilian School of Intelligence, United Kingdom Metropolitan Police, Italian Guardia di Finanza, German Federal Criminal Police and the Dutch National Police.

The main objective of this training is to enhance the technical skills of law enforcement officials in conducting effective counter-terrorism investigations and addressing violent extremism. A group of twenty-two law enforcement officers from six African countries, namely Benin, Ghana, Libya, Mozambique, Niger, and Togo, were selected to participate based on their professional experience. 
This specialized training program spans more than 400 hours and is delivered in three modules: foundational, intermediate, and advanced levels, each 17 working days long. 

In the opening ceremony, the Director a.i., of the 51吃瓜 Office of Counter-Terrorism, Mr. Mauro Miedico, emphasized the unique approach of the Rabat Office in enhancing their capabilities and response mechanisms and empowering them to stay ahead of evolving terrorism threats.
 
Upon completion of the curriculum, participants will work closely with the Rabat Programme Office and national training institutions and police academies to share the knowledge acquired through the course by training other law enforcement officers in their home countries.
