Northern and Aboriginal Crime Prevention Fund (NACPF) Project Description

Building and Sharing Knowledge

The Northern and Aboriginal Crime Prevention Fund (NACPF) will support projects that build and share knowledge about effective ways to prevent crime. It will also assist communities in developing the capacity to explore and adapt new ways to make communities safer. Through a variety of activities (conferences, tools, workshops) the goal is to share information on what works best in crime prevention in order to be able to apply this knowledge to crime prevention initiatives.

Please see the NACPF Guide to assist you in responding to the following questions or contact the Program Officer in your region:

Question 1: Project
Describe, in 2 or 3 sentences describe the main idea of your project and what you intend to do.

Question 2: Target Group
Who is your project designed to help? Describe the target group(s) and include:

• the number of participants directly affected by the project,
• information on why these groups are important to reach.

Question 3: Activities
Describe the project activities. Include:

• what activities will take place,
• where and when they will take place,
• who will be responsible for the various activities.

Explain why you have chosen those activities and how you know they are appropriate for the given audience(s).

Question 4: Results/Outcomes

Describe the results you expect to see from your project, how you will know you have achieved your results and how the project will impact on the larger community.

Question 5: Partners
You will need to develop partnerships to carry out your project. Explain:

• how you know you have community support for your project
• how you will involve other partners or community members in the project
• what role the partners will play.

N.B: It is important that you give as much information as possible as this will enable program officials to determine the eligibility of your project. If your project is reviewed favourably, a program officer will assist you in completed the documentation required to complete your application (detailed budget, workplan etc).
