In 2008 concerted efforts were by CCJAP made to integrate
crime prevention and community safety into the Royal Government of Cambodia
local and provincial planning systems. This supports one of the Royal
Government of Cambodia key reform efforts to decentralise and deconcentrate
resources, authority, and accountability to improve services to the community
level and ensure effective and sustainable development.
This is being done by providing support to select districts
in Kandal, Battambang and Prey Veng province. Project officers have been
appointed in each of these provinces and are working closely with provincial,
district and commune authorities who have responsibility for managing the
development and implementation of Commune Investment Plans. CCJAP is supporting the use of the commune
planning mechanism to identify crime and safety issues affecting the community
and building capacity to develop proactive strategies to address them.
