Community Initiatives Program

Community Initiatives Program (CIP) projects are one-off research and pilot programs, which provide community-based responses to justice issues, and are primarily those that:

• increase community participation in the development of culturally-appropriate and innovative early intervention programs
• promote reconciliation and partnerships between communities and justice agencies
• assist in research and the identification of community based best practice initiatives, including the development of regional strategic plans and submission of proposals
• clearly promote activities which support the objectives of the Victorian Aboriginal Justice Agreement Phase 2 (AJA2)
• are a catalyst to, or basis for, long-term sustainable capacity building programs.

CIP projects receive funding through the Victorian Aboriginal Justice Agreement (AJA), which is administered by the Koori Justice Unit.
