The OAS provides support to Guyana in matters of Public Security
June 22, 2011
The Organization of American States (OAS), through its Department of Public Security, together with the Government of Guyana today signed an agreement to execute a project which aims to strengthen the information collected about crime and violence in Guyana. IT equipment, software as well as logistical and methodological assistance will be provided to the Government in order to strengthen national capacities through the development of a public security statistical system.
The signing ceremony, which took place today in the Ministry of Home Affairs in Georgetown, Guyana, was attended by the Home Affairs Minister, Clement Rohee, and the OAS Representative in Guyana, Dennis Moses.
“The focus of the project is to assist certain Caribbean countries in establishing/strengthening public security observatories to improve the capabilities for data collection and statistics on crime and public security issues”, said the OAS Representative, Dennis Moses.
Moses added, “the overall goal is to contribute to greater public security and an improvement in the economic well being and quality of life of the citizenry of countries in the region”.
The initiative aims to create and/or strengthen national observatories on delinquency and violence in the Anglophone Caribbean so that the collected data assists the development and monitoring of public security policies. The project enjoys the financial support from the Canadian Government’s Anti-Crime Capacity Building Program (ACCBP).
Guyana joins Barbados, Belize, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis and Trinidad and Tobago, all of which enjoy the support of the OAS for the strengthening of their public security statistical systems.
