UNPOL launches farming project at the Abyei detention facility

On July 14, UNPOL launched a vegetable farming initiative at the Abyei detention facility targeting both detainees and members of the Community Protection Committee (CPC). The initiative is part of UNPOL’s ongoing efforts to enhance detention management and promote their rehabilitation through practical skills-based programs.

The project seeks to empower detainees with basic farming knowledge, offering sustainable solutions to improving nutrition and hygiene within the facility. It will also encourage the beneficiaries to contribute to environmental management and stay physically active as they acquire critical skills that may support their reintegration into society.

The initiative underscores UNPOL’s continued commitment to promoting humane standards in detention facilities in Abyei.
