From April 21 to 24, the second basic training course on document security took place in the beautiful city Constantine in Algeria. This training, provided by TenDoc and under auspices of the United Nations of Drugs and Crime (UNODC), is part of an extensive project. This project aims ’Strengthening Capacities in North Africa to Save and Protect Migrants by Addressing the Smuggling of Migrants and Trafficking in Persons in the Context of Irregular Migration Flows’. The first training of this project was organized in Oran, Algeria in December 2024. Both trainings were very successful. The next basic training in this project is scheduled for December 2025 in the capital Algiers.
