Background
Following decades of civil war in Southern
Sudan, this project aims to support
the establishment of the Police and
Prison Services in Southern Sudan, and
to promote the re-orientation of the
services from military to civilian.
This project builds upon the ‘Foundational
Support to Police’ and the ‘Foundational
Support to Prisons’ projects implemented
by UNDP in Southern Sudan.
Objectives
The project’s main objective is
to restore a quarter of the network
of police stations in Southern Sudan,
and seven central prisons, and focus
on institutional capacity building,
through technical advice, training and
on-the-job mentoring
Snapshots of the project's major achievements
To date, the project has:
• Placed two technical advisers
within the Police Service
• Trained 36 prison officers as
trainers
• Funded a 3-month training course
for 550 former combatants to be demobilized
into the Prison Service as officers
and prison guards.
• Completed an initial review
of pilot infrastructure projects.
• Funded priority infrastructure
rehabilitation.
