PRI Project supporting multi- agency monitoring of places of detention of children in Tanzania

Between December 2010 and April 2012 PRI conducted an 18 month project in Tanzania to support multi- agency monitoring of places of detention of Children.  With the financial support of UNICEF Tanzania PRI worked with local agencies to develop monitoring tools and an IT based system to collect, collate and analyse the results of monitoring visits conducted by mandated bodies.  The development of these tools is a  continuation of PRI’s work in Tanzania to promote the results of a report entitled Inspection Report for Children in Detention Facilities in Tanzania, 2011. The report is a compilation of information gathered by the Tanzanian Commission for Human Rights and Good Governance from questionnaires used in individual and focus group interviews with children and staff in police custody, prisons, and children’s detention homes across fourteen regions of Tanzania.
