BACKGROUND

Local authorities have a key role in reducing crime and violence in the cities. Success depends on partnerships between local governments and other key stakeholders. Over the past 15 years, the Safer Cities Programme of UN-HABITAT continues to support local governments in developing and implementing citywide crime and violence prevention strategies using a systematic participatory approach:

• Identifying and mobilizing diverse local partners who can contribute to reduce and prevent crime and violence; • Creating a local safety partnership led by a public champion; • Assessing, measuring and understanding the local safety problems; • Developing a local crime and violence prevention strategy and a detailed plan of action; • Implementing the local strategy through initiatives that address the fears of crime by improving social cohesion and community engagement in prevention; • Institutionalization of the local participatory approach by incorporating security as a cross-cutting dimension in the various departments of local government. This often requires training and coaching, institutional reform and improving security policies.

The Safer Cities current work programme is focused around three main objectives: 1. Exchange of knowhow and experiences on urban crime and violence prevention among cities and citizens; 2. Transforming societies to be more inclusive and participatory, furthering social cohesion; 3. Fostering a culture of crime prevention promoting social cohesion
