Public Spaces +

Ghana, Kenya, Senegal

In recent decades, there have been numerous attacks in public spaces, using various methods and varying degrees of sophistication. For this reason, the European Union (EU) is committed to protecting public spaces in the fight against terrorism and other criminal incidents.

In response to this situation, the Public Spaces + project has been launched as a continuation of the CT Public Spaces (Counterterrorism in Public Spaces) project, implemented jointly between 2020 and 2024 by the Civil Guard and FIIAPP in Ghana, Kenya, and Senegal.  This new phase aims to consolidate the impact already achieved in the first project.
