The expected results of this project include: (1) increased effectiveness of the NPA and of senior members of the HNP in responding to the current crisis and those in the future; (2) improved capacity of the NPA to professionalize HNP officers higher-ranking officers and members of the high command across the country to respond to the crisis; and (3) enhanced NPA practices to institutionalize gender at all levels of response.
