4.4 Civil Society participation 4.4.1 The undertaking to strengthen collaboration in crime prevention initiatives by working closer with NGOs, faith-based organisations (FBOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs) and other civil society organisations was praised and the development of guidelines for partnerships with service providers, and amendments providing for the above-mentioned organisations to register and interact with sentenced offenders to facilitate the rehabilitation, (Section 13(a) and (b)) were welcomed. The lack of detail around the registration and screening process and the silence on the development of a more formal accreditation process is a matter of concern. If such collaborative efforts are to succeed, coordination of efforts and initiatives and the pooling and effective use of such efforts and resources would be vital.
