Office/Unit/Project Description

A Safer Somalia – With The People

 Background.   The Joint Police Programme II (JPP II) for 2024 -26 aims to increase,  throughout Somalia, the presence of effective and accountable Federal and State Police capable of delivering basic policing services as a contribution towards improving security and access to justice to civilian populations in accordance with provisions set in the National Security Architecture (NSArch), New Policing Model (NPM) and the Somalia Security Development Plan.  The JPP II Programme Steering Committee identifies the requirement for national JPP II coordinators to lead and coordinated the implementation, working closely to ensure that all actions are aligned with the requirements and priorities jointly agreed by Federal and State police authorities.

Strengthening the Rule of Law is a necessary precondition for peacebuilding and state-building and has been a priority of governments and international partners for many years. The JPP II continues to support 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 gender responsive measures.

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.
