Under this agreement, signed by Mohamed Salah Tamek, General Delegate for Prison Administration and Reintegration, and Luis Mora, representative of UNFPA, the two organizations are committed to promoting the involvement of prisoners in the quest for individual and collective welfare, said a statement by the DGAPR.
The DGAPR and UNFPA will act jointly this year to consolidate the achievements and gains of the first year of collaboration 2020, through recreational and cultural development activities, associated with a system of support and monitoring of young detainees and the sharing of good professional practices by the various actors involved in the implementation of activities of this work plan, noted the statement.
Special support will be provided to improve the knowledge and attitudes of incarcerated girls and young women in detention centers regarding sexual and reproductive health and gender equality, through a monitoring and training program based on the peer education approach.
