BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Community Security Index is developed to measure the effectiveness and social impact of UNDP Governance and Rule of Law interventions(community security,justice,local governance and policing) in the target districts. In each region a district is selected where concentrated UNDP support is provided and a district in each region with largely similar demographic attributes but with none or limited UNDP support.The initiative aims to understand the overall impact of the area based interventions.OBJECTIVE
The Community Security Project aims to strengthen peace and prosperity for Somalia by providing a platform for dialogue and building social resilience.Through research and assessment,information collection provides an understanding of local physical and non-physical security contexts.Qualitative research analysis and reporting will provide more in-depth understanding of the quantitative information gathered to include exploratory information regarding why trends emerge in the quantitative data.Region or country |
