The EU-funded initiative aims to improve institutional capacities and ensure border agencies are equipped with the necessary expertise to respond to evolving security and migration challenges.

European Union Ambassador to Jordan Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas, said “The European Union is committed to supporting Jordan’s efforts to further improve its border management system, in challenging regional circumstances. Inter-agency coordination, well trained personnel and state-of-the-art equipment are key to guarantee security and smooth circulation of people and goods. As part of our new Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership, we will sustain our support to integrated border management and security cooperation with Jordan’.

Located within the Jordan Customs Employee Building, the IBM TC will provide structured training in border security, risk analysis, and operational coordination, fostering both intra-agency and inter-agency cooperation. The facility is designed to contribute to a more efficient and coordinated border management approach, reinforcing Jordan’s ability to manage its borders effectively.

With a total investment of €507,000, the Centre has been fully refurbished and equipped, featuring two modern training rooms, an 80-seat theatre, trainers’ offices, accommodation facilities, and a secure server room. Renovation works included structural upgrades, IT and security system enhancements, and the provision of essential training equipment. The refurbished theatre will also be available for IBM TC training sessions and Jordan Customs operations.

With the Centre now operational, Jordanian authorities will integrate it into their border management training efforts. The IBM TC is expected to play a key role in professional development, enhancing institutional cooperation, and supporting Jordan’s broader efforts to modernise border management in line with international best practices.
