Abstract

The study investigates the impact of Multi-Agency Response Strategies on sustainable law enforcement in six African countries, employing a desk review of articles, case evaluations, and limited key informant interviews for credibility. Conducted in alignment with the "Zero Tolerance to Crime" initiative under Agenda 2063, it highlights the significance of collaborative approaches in law enforcement. The findings indicate that while multi-agency strategies are crucial for sustainable law enforcement, there is a perceived polarization in crime reporting by some media that hinders effective implementation. Additionally, "blame games" among law enforcement agencies limit the utilization of these strategies. The study concludes that a robust multi-agency response fosters collaboration and strengthens law enforcement ideals. It recommends fostering a more vibrant, multi-stakeholder approach through supportive measures and continuous capacity building for improved effectiveness in addressing law enforcement challenges.
