Program:

Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program

Program Purpose:

The objective of the Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program (ACCBP) is to enhance the capacity of key beneficiary States and government entities to prevent and respond to threats posed by international criminal activity by providing transfer payment assistance in a manner consistent with international anti-crime and human rights obligations, norms and standards. In doing so, the ACCBP contributes to improving Canada’s national security, and the security of Canadians abroad, by addressing global transnational security threats, with a focus on the Americas. The Program also builds on previous crime program commitments that support regional and multilateral initiatives that focus on global crime issues.

The ACCBP will use both grants and contributions as the transfer payment mechanisms to meet its program objectives. The type of transfer payment will be determined by project and on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the Government of Canada’s international security mandate and objectives; the capacity of the implementing partners involved; and the assessment of the associated risks of the project. Such payments will be managed within the effective financial and program controls designed and implemented by Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada for its transfer payment programs.
