Backgrounder - Canada announces support to improve security during meetings in Ukraine

Police Assistance Project on Strategic Reform Capacities of the National Police of Ukraine

Implementing partner: Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance

Funding: $ 2,211,400

Duration: 2019 to 2023

The Police Assistance Project on Strategic Reform Capacities of the National Police of Ukraine will help reform efforts to improve security in Ukraine by supporting the strategic reform implementation of a more effective, efficient and gender-sensitive National Police of Ukraine (NPU).

Over three years, the project will strengthen the capacity of the Strategic Reform Unit in advising the NPU in planning, implementing, monitoring and reviewing reform processes that integrate a gender perspective and enhancing NPU management capacity to implement these reforms.

Ultimately, the NPU should have the capacity for, and contribute to, improved security in Ukraine by better responding to the security needs of Ukrainian citizens, including those of women and girls.

The project supports sustainable peace in Ukraine, consistent with democratic governance, the rule of law and respect for human rights.
