Domestic Violence Intervention Training Programme
Thursday 28 June 2001
The third and final phase of the regional Domestic Violence Intervention Training Programme for Police Officers and Social Workers began in September 2000. A cadre of 212 trainers who were trained during the first two phases of the project are now training ’frontline’ workers involved in domestic violence intervention.
Since September and up until February 2001, there have been national project launches in the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Guyana, Montserrat, Grenada, St Kitts-Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The overall project is a joint effort of CAFRA, the Association of Caribbean Commissioners of Police (ACCP), the Inter-American Development Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), UNIFEM and the UK Department for International Development (DFID), with a contribution from OXFAM Canada.
An article about the programme was published in the February 2001 issue of IDBAmerica and is available on the Internet at http://www.iadb.org/idbamerica/English/FEB01E/feb01e8.html
