Mauritania requested the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) to provide technical assistance to augment its counterterrorism capacity.
The ISS and the Directorate of National Security of the Mauritanian Police Training Force organised a two-week counterterrorism course in 2013.
The course focused on border controls, cooperation, information sharing, and dealing with IEDs and situations of terrorism.
