Summary
"The CACP has built a Coalition that includes some 54 organizations involved in crime
prevention and social development. The membership agreement was not formalized but
current members demonstrate an understanding of and shared commitment to crime
prevention through social development through participation in the Round Tables and
National Showcase and though the contribution of nine NGOs serving on the Project
Advisory Committee.
The recommendations in this report reflect the specific comments and advice of those
consulted during the evaluation. Their indication of support for continued involvement
can encourage the CACP to continue as it has set out, providing coordination and
leadership for expanding and strengthening the Coalition of like-minded but nontraditional
partners.
Securing policy and practical support from all orders of government is an essential next
step."--Conclusion.
