In implementing this project UNODC spearheads the broad strategy of enabling environments, which includes aspects of development and improvement of enabling policies and legislative frameworks. In addition, UNODC also addresses access to strategic information on HIV, AIDS and TB and improves access to health services and capacity building of health personnel within prison settings. VSO-RHAISA is responsible for improved coordination amongst civil society and government agencies to ensure successful rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners’ and capacity building of partners. The project is implemented as a joint strategic area, focusing both in and out of prison.
