Agreement Number:

7416616 P008173001

Agreement Value:

$5,000,000.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 21, 2020 - Jul 31, 2021

Description:

The project supports the local Iraqi police forces by training a core group of police trainers from the governorates of Anbar and Ninewah in policing, administration, and management, driven by data and local knowledge (“knowledge-based policing”). The project works to make local police units more responsive to the needs of the local population, through better understanding of local issues, operational planning, and management of resources. The project aims to provide ongoing mentorship to local police officers from these two governorates, including 100 currently active women police officers. The project also works to help refurbish four strategic police stations in both governorates so they can support the implementation of citizen-focused policing in liberated areas.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased capacity by Iraqi police trainers to deliver knowledge-based policing and police management courses to women and men local police officers in Anbar and Ninewah; (2) increased capacity by women and men local police officers to provide security and policing services in Anbar and Ninewah; and (3) increased access by women, girls, men, and boys to police services in Anbar and Ninewah through fully operational model police stations.

Program Purpose:

The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
