The purpose of this project is to pilot this innovative approach and, through a bottom-up approach, document and up-scale it to the regional level and promote it to other cities.

The project will seek to protect human rights and enhance the rule of law in Kurdistan Region by assisting governments and communities to prevent and reduce of violence and insecurity in targeted locations. Working in close coordination with civil society on the ground, the project will promote, at the local level, a different approach to security and safety, by which all community components (citizens, civil society organization, community leaders, women, persons with disabilities, etc.) are called to play a role in identifying and addressing the causes and manifestations of violence and insecurity. In order to develop a more holistic approach to community security, the project will look at strengthening the relationship between civil society, citizens, local authorities, Regional government and the security sector officials through the creation of coordination platforms as well as the implementation of trust building and crime prevention activities.
