CEDOVIP has been able to work with the Uganda Police Force as an institution, to strengthen their response to Gender Based Violence (GBV) in general, and has advocated for the inclusion of GBV in the Police training curriculum. To date,we have trained over 500 police officers in handling cases of violence against women. CEDOVIP has also influencedthe police to start the process of institutional reform, for example weprovided technical support in the process of developing the proposal for the establishment of theGBV directorate.
