RWI Prison Program 2021-2023 RWI Prison program 2021-2023 Raoul Wallenberg Institutet har ansökt om SEK 40 000 000 för att genomföra RWI Kenya Programme 2021-2025. Den svenska ambassaden är för närvarande den enda finansiären av programmet.

Förväntade resultat av RWI Kenya Programme är en betydande och hållbar ökning av efterlevnaden av relevanta internationella standarder för mänskliga rättigheter inom kriminalvårdssystemet och andra aktörer inom rättssektorn. Programmet omfattar följande komponenter.

Komponent 1: Inlemma internationell standard i Kenyansk kriminalvårdslagstiftning och policyramverk .
Komponent 2: Säkerställa att kunskap om mänskliga rättigheter genomsyrar det Kenyanska kriminalvårdssystemet.
Komponent 3: Förstärka koordinering och samarbete mellan områdets intressenter
Komponent 4: Planerings- och utbytesinsatser The Raoul Wallenberg Institute has applied to Sida for funding of SEK 40 000 000 to carry out the RWI Kenya Programme during the period 2021-2025. The Swedish Embassy of Kenya is the sole funder of the program.

Expected outcome of the RWI Programme is a demonstrable and sustainable increase in compliance with relevant international human rights standards for correctional services and other justice sector agencies. The Programme encompasses the following components and their related main objectives and key partnerships:

Component 1: Harmonizing Kenyan Correctional Law and Policy with International Standards
Component 2: Mainstreaming Human Rights Capacity in the Kenyan Correctional Services
Component 3: Enhancing Multi-Stakeholder Coordination and Cooperation
Component 4: Planning and Exchange Initiatives The main objective with this programme is to enhance compliance with international standards in the management of Kenya's correctional system, through continued support to the development and implemention of a comprehensive correctional services policy in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya.

The programme primarily seeks to directly tackle some of the reasons hindering achievement of this objective relating to gaps among the main stakeholder institutions, i.e. the KCS and other justice sector institutions and actors, and relating in this sense to gaps not only in terms of capacity but also in terms of the legal and policy framework, institutional structures and inter-agency cooperation.

Component 1: Harmonising Kenyan Correctional Law and Policy with International Standards.

Main objective: Review and develop, as necessary, Kenyan correctional law, policy and regulations for compliance with relevant international human rights standards.

Component 2: Mainstreaming Human Rights Capacity in the Kenyan Correctional Services.

Main objective: Create sustainable capacity and structures within the Kenyan Correctional Services to understand, assess, train and implement relevant international human rights standards.

Component 3: Enhancing Multi-Stakeholder Coordination and Coorperation

Main objective: Support and coordinate targeted Kenyan justice sector agencies to operationalize international human rights standards across the corrections continuum.

Expected impact is to have contributed to increased enjoyment of human rights in the administration of justice in Kenya.
