Trans-Sahara Counter-Terrorism Partnership (DOS)
State: The Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) is an interagency partnership between the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the U.S. Agency for International Development that focuses on improving individual country and regional capabilities in the Sahel and Maghreb to defeat terrorist organizations. TSCTP was authorized in March 2005 to prevent al Qaeda and other violent extremist organizations from building and sustaining safe havens in the Sahel and the Maghreb. This includes disrupting efforts to recruit and train new terrorists, particularly from the young and rural poor, and countering efforts to establish safe havens for domestic and outside extremist groups. TSCTP partner nations include Algeria, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and Tunisia. TSCTP key priorities in the Maghreb are twofold: to create an environment inhospitable to terrorist and trafficking operations, and to address youth vulnerability to violent extremism and recruitment by terrorist networks. The below request is for NEA regional countries only and consists of government-to-government training in Counter-Terrorism and Rule of Law. (Source: Congressional Budget Justification FY 2013)
