The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), is owned by the German Federal Government. It operated on the behalf of the German Federal Foreign Office in Chad; providing assistance to the police, particularly in the area of border management.[i]
GIZ provided training between 2013 and 2015 to the police in border management, alongside other counter-terrorism measures, such as the detection of forged documents. Training was also provided to mechanics and a vehicle workshop was constructed in order to improve the mobility of the police.
GIZ also assisted through the construction of a new border post in N’Djamena.
