South Africa:
Inclusive violence and crime prevention for safe public spaces (VCP)

German development cooperation is helping South Africa to create an efficient administrative system that serves all its citizens equally. The main focus of cooperation is on strengthening centres of government, fighting corruption, developing the judicial system and improving human resources management in the public sector. Moreover, Germany is supporting community-based measures for preventing violence. These measures include, for example, improving social and economic infrastructure (safe footpaths, public spaces, sports fields, community centres and retail areas), developing security patrols and supporting community organisations (legal advice centres, HIV prevention centres) in deprived areas.
