THE INITIATIVE IS PART OF THE JUVENILE JUSTICE REFORM PROJECT.

The OECS Commission and USAID, through the Juvenile Justice Reform Project (JJRP), has implemented a capacity-building intervention at the Boys Training Centre in cinematography. Dove Productions Limited is the facilitator of the training programme.

The JJRP cinematography intervention will engage 12 boys at the Boys Training Centre in various techniques of videography. This is an important step toward the social inclusion of a vulnerable community by way of improving their resilience through skill development.

The Juvenile Justice Reform Programme has been implemented in the region for over a decade starting in 2008 with Phase 1 and continuing on to Phase II in October 2016. JJRP focuses on three components: diversion, rehabilitation, and reintegration of children in conflict with the law. The project is being implemented in the six OECS independent member states: Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada.
