Project description
The complexity of both the detention context and the reintegration process requires an increasing development of partnerships and networks, both on a structural level and at the file level, to realize a meaningful range of help and services tailored to prisoners. With this project is examined, on the basis of an analysis from a network perspective, how the current Flemish cooperation model for the organisation of assistance and services to prisoners strengthened always starting from the needs and requirements of detainees. Flemish The Agency for Justice and Enforcement will work together with all relevant stakeholders for this project at supra-local level. Since the learning questions from the project in connection with call 557 have not yet been fully answered, we are putting these exercise will continue in 2024. In the autumn of 2023, several work packages were drawn up on the basis of the analysis Identified.  Within that, we still have to make choices together with all partners within the network about the follow-up process. We outline the trajectory that we will walk in 2024 in this partnership agreement. With Ghent University as the leading project partner, we have drawn up an extensive network analysis in the previous project period by means of interviews and working tables with the supralocal network actors. Possible areas for improvement were identified that we will further develop in early 2024, together with the project partners. Based on the first analysis results within the governance track, there are four themes that are worth working on in more depth: 1. (The preparation of) the next STRAP (2025-2030) 2. Cooperation with DG EPI 3. The internal functioning of the GC and VWG (including coordination and management) 4. Focusing on the user perspective Ghent University, based on their expertise in network management, will support these four 'work packages'.
