OASYS Project Description
The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission and USAID have partnered with national and local government and non-government stakeholders to design the OASYS Project, which builds on the achievements of the previous Juvenile Justice Reform Program II (2016-2022). OASYS will focus on increasing the diversion of youth away from courts and custodial sentences, supporting rehabilitation centers and diversion programs to use evidence-based diagnoses and treatment and facilitating reintegration of youth leaving rehabilitation facilities into their families and communities.
