Joint Police Programme
(Phase 2)
About the Project
The Joint Police Programme II (JPP2) continues to address the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability of police service delivery to Somali citizens, while supporting the institutional and operational capacities of the federal and state-level security and police institutions, with a focus on human rights and genderresponsive measures.
Through this second phase of the programme, UNDP, UNSOM and UNWOMEN will further assist the FMS and FGS police structures to enhance their development and professionalisation and protect the safety of citizens, as well as their individual rights, in line with the New Policing Model. Which although not fully implemented is the basis for policing programming in the country. The Programme intends to adopt a more problem-solving and people-centric approach and proposes to combine the institutional and capacity development support provided to federal and state-level police institutions, and the strengthening of community engagement through improved and extended police service delivery and enhanced oversight and integrity mechanisms, allowing citizens to increasingly participate in security sector strategies and protection mechanisms that more effectively respond to their grievances.
