Notably, the partnership also addresses the rights of DGSN personnel, ensuring protections under the “State Protection” principle against physical and verbal attacks while performing their duties. A Steering Committee is established to provide oversight on joint action plans, confirming strategic areas for cooperation.
Supporting this partnership is a Technical Committee tasked with executing these approved initiatives and planning future collaborative projects, demonstrating DGSN’s commitment to institutional development. This agreement builds on previous collaborations, such as the one with the National Human Rights Council focused on law enforcement training and capacity building that commenced a training program for migrant rights in early 2023.

Additionally, the DGSN successfully dismantled 947 organized crime networks and apprehended 1,561 suspects. Furthermore, it embarked on a digital transformation with nearly 4.7 million electronic national identity cards issued this year alongside enhancing its international role by securing a Vice Presidency at Interpol for Africa.
