West and Central African nations are implementing various initiatives to strengthen national police infrastructure and training capabilities.

In Burkina Faso, the government inaugurated the National Police Regional Directorate of Nakambé in Tenkodogo. The state-funded facility includes an administrative building, a police station, detention cells, and specialized units such as an Interpol regional branch and an anti-drug unit. The project aims to improve operational capacities and community engagement.

Similarly, Niger commissioned a new police station in the Tchangarey district of Niamey to bolster crime prevention and local trust. In Gabon, efforts have focused on human resources through the graduation of 78 trainees from the National Police Sub-Officers School in Tchibanga, following the rehabilitation of the institution.
