Six OECS Member States – Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines – now have a toolkit to guide the countries’ use of diversion, rehabilitation, and reintegration.
The Toolkit, which was developed in September 2020 by the USAID/OECS Juvenile Justice Reform Project (JJRP II), puts in place a standardized approach to diversion, rehabilitation, and reintegration of youth in conflict with the law, that is in keeping with international standards. It also provides practical information to help inform the development of standard operating procedures in each Member State.
