2.5 USE SECTOR SPECIFIC POLITICAL ECONOMY ANALYSIS TO DEVELOP A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE INFORMATION TELECOMMUNICATIONS (ICT) SECTOR, HOW
ORGANIZED CRIMINAL GROUPS MIGHT BE USING ICTS TO ADVANCE THEIR GOALS WITHIN A COUNTRY, AND WHO WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT BE COMPLICIT
IN THIS ACTIVITY. MONITORING OF JUDICIAL PROCESSES AND EVIDENCE TABLED IN THE INVESTIGATION LEADING TO A TRIAL MIGHT PROVIDE BACK-DOOR
ENTRY POINTS TO UNDERSTANDING THE LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION OF CRIMINAL GROUPS, AND WHICH PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ENTITIES (INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY
COMPANIES) MIGHT BE DIRECTLY OR INADVERTENTLY SUPPORTING THEIR WORK.
2.6 SUPPORT POLICY DEBATES AT THE NATIONAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE JUDICIARY, AND SPECIALIZED AGENCIES ON HOW TO BETTER
TARGET ORGANIZED CRIMINALS, INCLUDING THROUGH EFFECTIVE DETERRENCE STRATEGIES, SELECTIVE TARGETING, SEQUENTIAL INTERDICTION EFFORTS, AND THE
STRENGTHENING OF PROSECUTORIAL CAPACITY.
2.7 WHERE THERE ARE IMPORTANT INCIDENCES OF DRUG TRAFFICKING AND CONSUMPTION, SUPPORT DISCUSSIONS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT ON HOW TO
INTRODUCE HARM REDUCTION POLICIES AND PRACTICES TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO INJECT DRUGS, AND HOW TO APPLY HARM REDUCTION PRINCIPLES TO THE
POLICING OF RETAIL MARKETS
2.8 INVEST IN MAPPING JUDICIAL PROCESSES AND NON-JUDICIAL COMMISSIONS OF INQUIRY REGARDING THE INVOLVEMENT OF STATE OFFICIALS IN ORGANIZED
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AS A MEANS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WEAKNESSES AND GAPS IN LEGISLATION AND IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESS, AND TO IDENTIFY
APPETITE FOR REFORM.
2.9 SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND INTER-REGIONAL PLATFORMS VIA EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS AS A MEANS TO ENHANCE
COOPERATION BETWEEN POLICY MAKERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS, CIVIL SOCIETY, AND ACADEMIA IN RESPONDING TO ORGANIZED CRIME.
2.10 INVEST IN MONITORING AND ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF EXTERNAL EFFORTS TO ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OR THE JUDICIARY AND SECURITY SERVICES TO RESPOND
TO ORGANIZED CRIME.
3. SUPPORTING SMART AND EMPIRICALLY INFORMED CRIME-SENSITIVE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES
3.1 STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO ENGAGE THE GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL ACTORS ON ORGANIZED CRIME-RELATED
ISSUES AT NATIONAL AND LOCAL LEVEL.
3.2 MAP SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF EFFORTS TO COUNTER ORGANIZED CRIME. IN THIS REGARD, DONORS CAN INVEST MORE IN UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS OF
FORMALIZING OR PROHIBITING OF INFORMAL OR ILLICIT MARKETS.
3.3 SUPPORT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND DEBATE ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SMARTER DRUG TREATMENT POLICIES IN RESPONSE TO DRUG
DEPENDENCY, AND PRIORITIZING CITIZENS’ HEALTH AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OVER CRIMINALIZATION.
