Consultant – Development of a Gender Sensitive Police Training Manual

The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM/A) on 9 January 2005 marked a critical juncture for Sudan, and opened an unprecedented window of opportunity to turn the devastation of over 20 years of civil war, displacement and underdevelopment into a new era of peace and prosperity. The CPA made provisions for a Government of National Unity (GNU) of Sudan. It also recognized the political and administrative autonomy of Southern Sudan in the interim context, making federalism and decentralization as the framework for governance. Accordingly, the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) was formed and significant progress has been made to establish three functioning levels of Government

In order to pave a path of democratic governance in the Sudan , the former Ministry of Internal Affairs (MoIA) (Now Ministry of Interior) was officially established thereafter in January 2005. With the declaration of independence 9th July 2011, the Ministry will continue to be responsible to among other obligations; advise all levels of RoSS on security matters; maintain the internal security in Southern Sudan; administer and supervise the working of the police, prison and fire brigade; develop sectoral policies, identity and priorities needs within the units; ensure that the unit personnel are efficiently trained to meet their assigned duties; liaise with regional and international law enforcement agencies to combat cross boarder crime; control vehicle license and issuance of driving permits; initiate, formulate and draft legislations to guide and regulate professional law enforcement standards and any other function and duties that may be assigned to it by law or RoSS.

Although, the Ministry of Interior has been officially established and has a clearly defined mandate, it is currently facing many operational challenges including lack of capacity to fulfill its constitutional mandate as articulated above. To support the ministry to fulfill its constitutional mandate, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Southern Sudan, based in Juba, is implementing the police and prison support project in partnership with the Ministry. Through this project UNDP has been providing support to the Ministry of internal Affairs in three components (i) technical advice; (ii) capacity building and (iii) infrastructure/equipment support. Both national and internal staffs with functional expertise and experience in relevant fields is engaged on the project to provide assistance in various ways.

In view of the above, UNDP in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior, Government of the RoSS is supporting the process of capacity development of the Southern Sudan Police Service through the development of a Gender Sensitive Police Training Manual to inform basic and advanced Police training in Southern Sudan.
This is in line with the Government commitment to achieving the targets of the MDGs, particularly goal number 3, which emphasizes the promotion of gender equality through the existence of institutional and legal mechanisms to enhance the attainment of gender parity, protection and promotion of services for women. The training manual will be a framework that will enhance the institutional capacity of the police to manage, monitor and act to protect women and girls from GBV, promote the needs of both male and police officers and the overall mainstreaming of gender concerns within the police institution.
