EUCAP Somalia

EUCAP Somalia, the European Union Capacity Building Mission in Somalia, is a civilian mission established to enhance the capabilities of Somali authorities in maritime security and policing. Launched in 2012, EUCAP Somalia aims to support the development of a sustainable maritime security framework that contributes to the rule of law and the protection of Somalia's extensive coastline. The mission works closely with various Somali institutions to strengthen their operational capacities and improve governance in maritime affairs. The mission's core services include training and mentoring Somali coast guard and maritime police forces, providing technical assistance, and facilitating regional cooperation on maritime security issues. EUCAP Somalia also engages in community outreach and awareness programs to promote maritime safety and security among local populations. Through its collaborative efforts, EUCAP Somalia plays a vital role in fostering stability and security in the region, contributing to the broader objectives of the European Union's engagement in Somalia and East Africa.
