PROGRAMME TO SUPPORT SECURITY SECTOR REFORM (PARSS 3 MSPC)

The aim of PARSS 3 is to support the government’s efforts to consolidate the rule of law, governance, the promotion of democratic principles and the protection of human rights. Notably, it seeks to contribute to creating and sustaining a social, economic and peaceful climate by improving security services for the population.

The programme aims to modernise police services in order to build lasting domestic security in Guinea. It will use the existing projects to consolidate their achievements through five components:

Strengthening the strategic management and operational capacities of the civil protection services; 

Supporting the National School of Police and Civil Protection Services;

Institutional support for the Ministry of Security and Civil Protection (MSPC - Ministère de la Sécurité et de la Protection Civile);

Continuation and strengthening of support for the introduction of neighbourhood police;

Local governance of security.

The main activities by component are as follows:
