Components of the Programme This Programme functions primarily as a coordinating agency that pulls together all government agencies to address the complex array of institutional, social and economic issues that have given rise to the high levels of violent crime in Belize. A Programme Coordination Unit is responsible for coordinating and implementing actions identified by the Steering Committee and the Operational Sub-committees and for monitoring the progress and impact of these actions. The majority of the actions are executed by existing government, non-governmental or private agencies. The Programme Coordination Unit assists in the coordination of plans and resources, the identification and securing of new resources, and the facilitation of public-private partnerships.
