Review of development cooperation between the South African Police Service and the Swedish National Police Board

The programme was extensive and covered areas of HRM, capacity building, training methods, police methods etc. The aim was to assess results and to propose future direction also as regards a tripartite co-operation with the Police Authority in Rwanda. The review covered effects and concrete outputs over the period and project costs. The report noted a number of achievements in several of the 25 projects at a total cost of 17 M ZAR. Some shortcomings and problem areas were also identified as well as suggestions for the future co-operation. SIPU had also been involved in an earlier assessment of the programme made 2001.
