Grants and Contributions

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.

The project supports the efforts of the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) to enhance the capacity of Ukrainian mine action institutions to implement effective and gender-responsive mine action operations, develop country-appropriate information management solutions, and lead efficient donor coordination platforms.

This project supports activities that promote the inclusion of the agenda of children in negotiations and peace dialogues with armed groups. It also promotes early commitments to implementing concrete actions to put an end to all grave violations against children in Colombia. It supports the design and establishment of the legal mechanism for the demobilization and reintegration of adolescents and young people from criminal groups.

Project activities include : (1) providing training and gender and ethnic-sensitive technical assistance to the country task force on monitoring and reporting in ten conflict-affected departments of Colombia; (2) improving UNICEF'S monitoring and reporting mechanism's information management system; (3) providing technical support and empowering peace negotiation actors to promote child rights provisions in peace negotiations; (4) promoting children and armed conflict agenda through media and public dialogue; (5) facilitating the participation of adolescents and young people used by armed groups at the peace negotiations and including their agenda in negotiations with the Government of Colombia; (6) supporting initiatives by adolescents and at-risk-youth that focus on reducing violence in their communities and promote the participation of women and girls in equal decision-making within the peace and security agenda; and (7) establishing gender and ethnic-sensitive legal mechanisms for the demobilization and reintegration of adolescents and young people from criminal groups into communities, in cooperation with the national and local governments.
