About
Overview:The JP sought to decrease violence and prevent conflict by working both at national and local levels. On the national level, it was expected to provide opportunities for dialogue, and build agreements to generate the necessary conditions to develop a national plan with a clear definition of public safety. At the local level it focused on one municipality, the Municipio of San Salvador, and sought to provide a pilot experience with participation of all key players, to inform the design of public policies and provide evidence for an informed debate on human security. In addition, it aimed to enrich the existing public policy proposals and help build consensus on how to prevent violence by promoting spaces for dialogue and negotiation with key sectors of society. To do this, the JP strengthened intersectoral coordination mechanisms and supported capacity building of national and local staff who are in charge of managing conflict. It supported the creation of systems for timely and reliable information necessary for an effective response. It also promoted a process of exchanging national experiences, which allowed for feedback to existing practices. It proposed the development of a management model known as Community Police which seeks to bring police closer to the communities. One key result was the adoption, publication and dissemination of the National Policy on Justice, Security and Violence, which provides a framework for actions on public safety and prevention of violence. This effort helped review the National Strategy for the Prevention of Violence at municipality level with the lessons from their pilot in San Salvador. This was done in partnership with USAID. The JP provided technical assistance for the establishment of the Office for Management of Violence Prevention. Its Cabinet includes the Ministries of Interior, Health, Education, Economics, Labor, the Technical Secretariat of the Presidency, the Salvadoran Institute for the Integral Development of Children and Adolescents, National Institute of Youth Investment Fund Local Social Development and the Institute for the Advancement of Women. This Office prepared a draft law for a National Prevention System currently under discussion. The JP also intended to generate a discussion on safe urban spaces and revitalize social meeting spaces as catalysts that integrate disadvantaged groups and help rebuild the social fabric. The programme also undertook an educational campaign to promote mediation processes and awareness of community norms. The programme promoted the rehabilitation and creation of safe public spaces, as a result there was a reported increase in the use of public spaces including 27% increase in the use of green zones and Parks, a 30% increase in the use of children's recreation areas, 34% increase in the use of tennis and sports facilities and a 47% increase use of the Longhouse. Over 9,047 community members under 25 years of age participated in various training activities. 49% of those who received job training were able to secure a job, of which 64% through formal employment, 36% through self-employment. In addition, 18% of the participants returned to school. In order to limit firearms, the programme supported the development and adoption of a regulatory framework restricting the ability to carry firearms in public spaces, and the implementation of plans aimed to reduce crimes committed with firearms. It contributed to the definition of coordination mechanisms and the improvement of the quality of information for monitoring and tracking firearms and ammunition. A Youth Living Complex was rehabilitated and equipped in Barrio La Vega, with joint resources of the MDG Fund, the municipality and the private sector. The center is coordinated by the Municipal Institute for Sports and is used for recreational, cultural, educational and sports activities in a safe environment.
