Brief Description
This project is a collaboration between the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT) to support local authorities to strengthen crime data collection, analysis and monitoring capacity and provide them with an overview of approaches to inform evidence-based policies for crime and violence prevention in urban spaces. It ultimately seeks to promote the development and monitoring of local government-led crime prevention and urban safety policies and programmes that take into account recent methodological advances in addressing crime and victimization challenges in urban areas.
Objective and Expected Outcomes
Objective
To support local authorities in three selected cities in Latin America and Africa to develop, in consultation with civil society, evidence-based urban crime prevention and safety policies/plans and monitoring frameworks that address multi-causal factors of violence and crime
Expected Outcome 1
Enhanced capacities of city administrations to collect, analyse crime data to formulate and adopt urban crime prevention and safety policies and programmes, using a participatory approach
Expected Outcome 2
Improved capacity of selected cities to monitor urban crime prevention and safety policies and programmes and measure progress towards achieving security, safety-related development targets at local level
