The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation awarded a $2.19 million Project Grant under the Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program (CFDA 19.901) to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) on January 2, 2026, with a completion date of January 1, 2028. The award supports capacity-building and training initiatives in Morocco designed to strengthen risk management and supply chain security across seaports, airports, and land border crossings. These efforts aim to prevent the cross-border movement of illicit goods while enhancing overall trade facilitation and border security operations.

UNODC will deliver comprehensive technical assistance and training services to Moroccan authorities focused on improving enforcement capabilities, developing standard operating procedures, and building investigative and prosecutorial capacity within the country's border security infrastructure. This initiative aligns with the EXBS Program's broader mission to enhance export controls and border security capabilities in partner nations, supporting critical security objectives related to preventing the proliferation of sensitive materials and contraband goods.
