Collaboration in Africa: Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya and the SAW Project
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, January 28, 2025
4:15 PM - 5:15 PM
Session Type: Workshop
An exciting collaborative endeavor is underway in Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda to collect and report details of successful supervision practices. This pilot project is organized and managed by the Supervision Around the World (SAW) Project, an international non-profit agency. Rich resources are available through the use of collaboration and collective learning. Administrators from Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya have shared examples of their most successful programs and this information is available via the SAW Project website. In our risk-adverse world of criminal justice supervision, administrators may consider elements of such models to replicate in local programs with more confidence. During this presentation, SAW Project personnel will discuss piloting the process for data collection, quality assurance, and reporting, as well as the impact of collaborative efforts. Formal outcomes of this pilot project will be shared during the 2025 International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) Conference in Rwanda.
