On Tuesday, May 22, 2023, the COSTAATT Link-Up team had an incredible opportunity to meet with esteemed representatives from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Alexus McNally- Programme Officer of the International Legal Foundation (ILF).

This meeting aimed to explore potential collaborations between these three dynamic groups, all with a shared vision of promoting, funding, and expanding the Link-Up programme.

For those who are unfamiliar, the COSTAATT Link-Up programme is an innovative initiative that aims to provide college-level education and reintegration opportunities for incarcerated citizens. It’s all about empowering individuals and breaking down barriers to create a brighter future.

We are thrilled about the possibilities that may arise from this partnership, as the UNDP, ILF, and COSTAATT Link-Up team join forces to drive positive change and support the growth of this remarkable programme. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those seeking education and a fresh start.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to work towards our shared goals. Let’s keep spreading the word and building a brighter, more inclusive world!
