The Governor of Yei River County, Emmanuel Taban, launched two separate training courses: one for 25 members of the Community Police Committee and 20 local government officials.
The training workshops were organized with support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in partnership with other partners. The workshops focus on training community policing members on good governance and the rule of law in the local community of Yei River County.
Governor Taban emphasized during the opening of the training workshop the importance of teamwork among the Community Police Committee members in addressing minor community issues. He urged participants to report cases of gender-based violence, particularly rape, as well as related criminal activities, so that the police can carry out their duty in maintaining security and public peace among the citizens.
Siembo Kamara, the PCRC Coordinator for UNMISS, highlighted the shared goal of launching the program to support social cohesion and enhance stability between politically divided communities and returnees.
The goal of the training project is to create a conducive and safe environment for civilians by engaging armed actors and supporting community policing.
Mr. James Wala, Project Assistant at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), advised participants to stay alert during the sessions to equip themselves with knowledge about the rule of law and good governance, which will lead to sustainable development in Yei.
Christopher Tahir, the spokesperson for the Governor’s Office of Yei River, stated that this training demonstrates the commitment of the county government and its partners to promoting peace and achieving development in the region.
