EUCAP Sahel Mali bears a High Risk Non-Family Mission status due to the present risk rating of the
mission area as high. Risk assessment is medium for Mauritania. Nevertheless, all international seconded and
contracted personnel, irrespective of their location, shall at no time receive visits or be habitually
accompanied by any family member in the area for the duration of their tour of duty or contract. For security
reasons, all personnel are obliged to live in restricted areas, where security responsibilities are borne by the
Mission.
While being a separate entity, the Regional Advisory and Coordination Cell (RACC) and its Internal
Security and Defence Experts (ISDEs) are administratively attached to EUCAP Sahel Mali.
Seconded Personnel – For seconded positions, only personnel nominations received through official
