DRAFT
Collaboration on Training Component for Community Policing
The GoS Police and UNMIS Police/UNDP agree to work together on 6 initial months of
technical co –operation for a pilot project (4th November 2006 – 3rd May 2007) to
introduce a community-based style of policing, community safety training and improve
the service delivery of the Police. The project is dynamic, in a piloting phase that
provides opportunity for extension and some elements may therefore change and develop,
however, the main elements of the project are detailed below. This SOC that will
eventually develop into a Memorandum of Understanding provides actions of co –
operation, partnership and strategic direction for change management within GoS Police
through an appropriate training component.
The objectives of the project are:
1. To enhance the capacity of GoS Police training on modern crime trends,
investigation techniques, human rights and risk management with a view of
preventing crime.
2. To develop and enhance the national government police training institution and
training unit capacity in information management and cascade training
programmes in order to ensure sustainability of community policing training.
3. To support in partnership and collaboration with Government of Sudan (GoS)
Police to address increasing policing demands in traffic management and public
safety in Sudan.
The main project activities are:
a) Training and capacity-building: The project will provide training in community
policing to help build the capacity of GoS Police in human rights, crime
prevention, cyber crimes, community safety, risk management, information
management and traffic control. Training modules will be developed for training
at the police academy. The first priority is to hold a training of trainers’ course for
at least key 40 police executive officers (in November 2006) and then
progressively run training courses for 100 middle rank police officers on relevant
strategic courses.
Output: Training modules on community oriented policing; 40 senior police
executives trained, 100 middle rank officers trained on modern trends of policing
and traffic management and the training modules integrated into the curriculum at
GoS Police training academy.

b) Institution-building: The project will work with GoS Police to develop a Strategic
Information Management System (SIMS) to enable the effective prioritisation of
policing activities, set up a laboratory for information management and training
on detection of cyber crimes. In order to set up a sustainable programme, GoS
Police will provide trainers to be trained on a sustainable methodology for
Training of Trainers (TOT). A computer laboratory established will serve as a
training unit on SIMS and initial hardware is to be provided through a cost –
sharing arrangement between GoS Police and UNMIS/UNDP.
Output: A new Strategic Information Management System developed by GoS Police
and other key stakeholders and communicated effectively; computer laboratory
established to enhance strategic role of the police in cyber crime prevention.
c) Training on Traffic management and public safety: The project will help train
senior Government of Sudan Police on traffic management and begin to raise
public awareness at Khartoum level on matters related to public safety and
community relations. The training will involve capacity building on traffic
investigation and traffic control. The project will also help to raise awareness
within the police service as to the needs and benefits of working in partnership
with public to reduce traffic crimes and accidents.
Output: Improved traffic management in Khartoum City and traffic training
programmes in the GoS Police academy
d) Lessons learned: The project will draw out lessons learned from Phase I of the
piloting component and develop further initiatives for Phase 2. These will be
collated into a report at the end of the pilot stage that will seek to inform the
intended development of the pilot project nationwide.
Output: Evaluation of the success of the project that enables lessons to be learned
that can inform Phase 2 of expanded programme on community policing.
Oversight of the project
The Police development committee that is proposed to start its functions soon will meet
on a monthly basis to oversee the project. A progress report from each meeting will be
sent to the Director General of Police Police. Bi –monthly review meetings will be held
between the project management team to review progress and ensure that the project is on
track. For UNMIS/UNDP, the project management team is: Community Policing
Specialist Justus Okoko (UNDP) and the Office of Deputy Commissioner of Police
(DPC) in UNMIS. The Government of Sudan (GoS) Police will appoint senior training
officer(s) to take charge of the project and constitute part of the management team.
