2022 — Second follow-up inspection on the implentation of the recommendations regarding the Crime Prevention Fund in St. Maarten.

This report is the second follow-up inspection into the implementation of recommendations regarding the Crime Prevention Fund (CF) in Sint Maarten. The report finds that little progress has been made since the first follow-up in 2021, with the compliance percentage for the implementation of recommendations remaining at 25%. Despite some efforts, key recommendations such as establishing a clear legal framework, developing a comprehensive policy, and improving administration and registration processes have not been fully implemented. The report emphasizes the need for urgent prioritization of these recommendations, including temporarily halting new project financing until the existing issues are resolved.
