Sudan - Police training
Last updated: 28/07/2010 //
The business plan for the program was signed in November 2009, but due to delays the program is mid-2010 still in the start-up phase. As stated in the business plan, the program aims at supporting the Sudanese in meeting their objectives of realizing a developed and democratic police service. Furthermore, the program will support the reform of the systems of policing to address the post-conflict reconstruction and development agenda of the Sudan as outlined in the relevant peace agreements. The program will be implemented in South Sudan (70%), Darfur(20%), and in North Sudan (20%). The South African Police Service (SAPS) is the implementing body and responsible for implementation and management of the program. Through training and provision of infrastructure and some equipment, the program will contribute to the reorientation of former combatants for integration into policing network, institutional development and capacity building for officers and non-commissioned officers, community focused policing and involvement, and the development of a strategic framework, policing model and organizational development plan.
