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.

This project aims to improve the participation of civil society organizations, particularly women’s organizations, in the Organizations of the American States (OAS) Summit of the Americas process. The project supports the OAS Summits of the Americas Secretariat to improve its capacity to undertake consultations and outreach to women’s organizations (WOs). It also supports WOs so they can enhance their advocacy abilities during the discussion and negotiation of outcome documents, commitments and initiatives of the Ninth Summit of the Americas. Project activities include: (1) awareness campaigns via information sessions on the Summits components; (2) capacity-building workshops on various themes such as leadership, networking, negotiation; (3) information sessions on participation mechanisms in the Summits Process; (4) elaborating a position paper in collaboration with the Inter-American Commission on Women on the gender dimensions of the Ninth Summit theme; 5) virtual consultations at the national and regional levels providing an opportunity for WOs to propose concrete gender-sensitive recommendations on the Ninth Summit theme.
