US company Culmen International to provide technical and human capacity training to Libya’s Customs Authority

The Libyan Customs Authority announced on April 25 that it has signed a cooperation memorandum with the US company Culmen International. This agreement aims to enhance technical and human capacities within the Customs Authority, particularly at border crossings. The partnership will focus on training programs for customs officers stationed at the Ras Ajdir and Wazen land border crossings with Tunisia. The objective is to improve detection capabilities and supply modern equipment to boost efficiency. The Customs Authority stated that this collaboration supports the adoption of international best practices in inspection and border security, building upon the existing Early Border Detection Project. This initiative is expected to contribute to stronger border control and the protection of the national economy. Culmen International has a history of providing training in Libya since 2019, primarily to the Libyan Civil Aviation and Airports Authority, as part of efforts to lift the EU flight ban.
