Consultations on the National Strategy for Citizen Security
The Consultations leading to the formulation of the National Strategy for Citizen Security were a process of citizen participation aimed at capturing the perspectives of citizens and civil society organizations on the situation of security in the country, the challenges involved while designing responses to crime and violence, as well as good practices developed within this framework. The main goal was the participatory design of the National Strategy for Citizen Security. The organization that led the participatory process was the Ministry of Citizen Security, with technical support from the United Nations Development Programme. The process involved sectoral consultations with organizations and specialists in matters of citizen security, territorial consultations developed as citizen workshops throughout the country, and intersectoral consultations with government entities. More than 700 citizens and representatives of civil society organizations participated in the consultations.
