| Project Detail |
Programme to Build and Strengthen the Police Structures in Selected Partner Countries in Africa In some African countries, the police face difficulties to fully protect their citizens from security threats. As a result, crime rates are high, women and children often experience violence, and there is little trust in the police. The situation is due to inadequate police stations and equipment, police officers who have not been sufficiently trained for their role, and work processes that are not fully standardised and adapted to international standards. The police and judiciary need to cooperate better, the police must be more present in rural areas and work together more closely regionally in order to curb transnational organised crime. Objective The governments of Côte dIvoire, The Gambia and Kenya are better able to contribute to national, regional and international security. They can thus reduce violence, serious crime and transnational organised crime based on an efficient approach and the rule of law. |
