From a policy perspective, the Government of Tanzania has recently renewed its commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for all Tanzanians. In particular, Goal 6 in Cluster III of the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty 2005-2010 (NSGRP) aims at achieving broad outcomes to improve personal security, reduce crime, and eliminate sexual abuse and domestic violence. The operational target for this goal is to “ensure the institutions and agents of government such as the police, courts and prisons observe human rights and ensure justice and security for all citizens”. A number of relevant strategies to help realise Goal 6 have already been identified and are being implemented. These include enhancing the capacity of police by training and equipping them to combat crime, terrorism, illicit business, trading in persons, drug-trafficking, and related problems. Efforts are also underway to increase the capacity of judges, magistrates and state attorneys to handle large numbers of cases.
