BACKGROUND

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through the Strengthening Evidence-based Decision Making for Citizen Security in the Caribbean (CARISECURE) Project seeks expert services to undertake a Comparative Institutional Assessment of national data governance with specific focus on youth crime and violence statistical capacities. An assessment of youth insecurity and juvenile justice systems conducted by the USAID/Eastern and Southern Caribbean (ESC) across the Caribbean, highlighted the lack of standardized data on crime and violence and its causes. While raw data are available in different forms and at various stages of the criminal justice process, there exists wide diversity in how this is generated; the absence of clear and harmonized guidelines; and weak inter-institutional coordination and information sharing.

National consultations and assessments conducted by UNDP in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean also point to four interrelated challenges. These are: deficiency in evidence-based approaches to citizen security policymaking; the lack of reliable and comparable national and regional statistics; weak coordination at national, sub-regional and regional levels; and weak institutional capacities. It is against these challenges that the UNDP through the CARISECURE Project seeks to work with countries across the Eastern and Southern Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago) to bolster institutional capacity to design evidence informed and targeted at prevention programmes aimed at reducing youth involvement in crime and violence.

In 2017, UNDP launched an assessment across Guyana, St. Kitts & Nevis, and St. Lucia with the objective of better understanding national crime prevention infrastructure, strategies, partnerships, and coordination capacities, and provide recommendations for technical assistance for future data driven prevention programmes. At that time, Regional Security System had no structure, nor proper staff to lead a Regional Observatory. However, the assessment did trigger a rethinking of the concept of a Regional Observatory through a possible increase in dedicated staff, mission and objectives. CariSECURE support to the ICCS and the future implementation of the CariSECURE indicators also created a perfect environment for a sustainable Regional Observatory.
