Document: Crime and Safety Partnerships give communities confidence

Through a joint project with Leeds in the UK, a Durban township in South Africa has given its residents greater confidence, reduced crime and the fear of crime, and helped to create a thriving and prosperous community. Partnership working, involvement of the community and developing positive activities for young people have been at the heart of the approach, report John England and S’bu Xulu, following a review of the impact of the project.

This partnership is part of the CLGF Good Practice Scheme (GPS), in which SALGA is a partner.

CLGF is also a partner of the SA LED Network.
