Organization of American States

Purpose

OAS/CICTE and UNICRI designed this project that will focus on ensuring the sustainability of previous achievements while addressing new and concrete needs of OAS Member States. The project will lead OAS Member States to improve their security sector reforms and crime prevention policies in the long term, well reflecting two of the main priorities of the Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program (ACCBP). The project, and related activities, are shaped around three main elements further described below, 1) improved national security frameworks, 2) strong regional cooperation mechanisms, and 3) effective security policies based on a human rights approach.
