This modern building will house the DPAF headquarters and the units of the National Division for Combating Migrant Smuggling and Similar Practices (DNLT).

The European project, called ''Joint Operational Partnership'', which supported the construction of the building, was financed by the EU for an amount of 9 million euros, or 5,850,000,000 CFA francs, over a period of 3 years. Implemented by CIVIPOL, operator of the French Ministry of the Interior, in partnership with FIIAPP, the Spanish cooperation agency, the project came to an end at the end of July 2023.

The objective of this project was to strengthen the capacities of the Senegalese security forces in their fight against criminal networks specializing in the smuggling of migrants and human trafficking.

In his speech, the EU Ambassador to Senegal said: "Our approach supports the Republic of Senegal in its efforts to protect the human rights of migrants, respect for human dignity, security, the prevention of dangerous irregular movements and aims to ensure the existence of possibilities for safe and legal migration. It targets the root causes of migration, supporting the creation of opportunities in regions of origin to prevent irregular departures and supporting voluntary return and reintegration. Safer, orderly and regular migration, to quote the title of the United Nations Global Compact on Migration, is the shared priority of this pact of trust between Senegal, the EU and its Member States."
