On November 24th, the Council adopted a set of decisions establishing three assistance measures under the European Peace Facility (EPF) in support of Jordan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Chad.<\/p>\n
The Council adopted the third bilateral assistance measure\u00a0<\/strong>under the EPF worth\u00a0\u20ac35 million<\/strong>\u00a0to strengthen defence capacities and capabilities of the\u00a0Jordanian Armed Forces.\u00a0<\/strong>This measure brings the\u00a0total\u00a0<\/strong>amount of\u00a0EPF support to Jordan to \u20ac55.25 million\u00a0<\/strong>to date.<\/p>\n The decision signals the EU\u2019s growing engagement with Jordan<\/strong>, marked by the recent signature of the\u00a0EU-Jordan Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership<\/strong>\u00a0(SCP). The new EPF assistance measure will contribute to strengthening security and defence cooperation, one of the five key areas identified by the SCP and demonstrates the EU\u2019s continued commitment to supporting Jordan\u2019s stability and resilience.<\/p>\n The objective is to enhance the air defence capabilities, and therefore also to strengthen Jordan\u2019s contribution to regional security. Through the European Peace Facility measure, the EU will provide to the Jordanian Armed Forces\u00a0short-range radars and a local command and control system<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>and, where needed, related supplies and services, including operational and maintenance training.<\/p>\n The Council also adopted an EPF assistance measure amounting to\u00a0\u20ac10 million<\/strong>\u00a0to provide the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Forces Arm\u00e9es de la R\u00e9publique D\u00e9mocratique du Congo<\/em>\u00a0– FARDC) with\u00a0military equipment<\/strong>\u00a0meeting their operational needs.<\/p>\n This is the\u00a0second assistance measure<\/strong>\u00a0in support of the FARDC. The first one was adopted in 2023 and aimed at supporting the 31st Rapid Reaction Brigade based in Kindu. In\u00a0total<\/strong>, the European Peace Facility’s support to the FARDC now amounts to\u00a0\u20ac30 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The support foreseen under this second assistance measure will strengthen the FARDC’s capacity to carry out their core tasks of protecting civilians and restoring state authority. It consists of the provision of non-lethal equipment to facilitate command and control, improve deployment conditions and medical support, and enable the conduct of surveillance patrols along river borders. Deliveries are expected to begin before the end of 2026.<\/p>\n The continued support provided under the EPF demonstrates the EU’s ongoing commitment to security sector reform in the DRC, and the EU’s commitment to the FARDC in the context of the peace process. It is part of a broader package of measures combining various instruments, including development aid.<\/p>\nDemocratic Republic of the Congo<\/h2>\n
