Last week CEO Saldivar participated in the Second Citizen Security Week in Central America and the Dominican Republic which was held January 23 – 25, 2023 in Panama City, Panama. The event was organized via the InfoSegura Regional Project which is being implemented by UNDP in partnership with USAID.

The Second Citizen Security Week in Central America and the Dominican Republic allowed participants to share experiences on best practices and technological innovation, as well as discuss developments and challenges in strengthening the capacities of States and the need to create evidence based policies for citizen security.

In attendance were heads of institutions responsible for security in the region, policymakers working in citizen security, justice, and violence prevention, technical representatives of national and local government agencies, police personnel, subject-matter experts from throughout the region, the business sector and civil society, as well as representatives of USAID and UNDP.

UNDP, through the InfoSegura Project and in partnership with USAID, has been supporting the Ministry of Home Affairs and New Growth Industries and its Belize Crime Observatory and key partner agencies since May 2014, with the goal of enhancing quality data analysis.
