Public-Private Alliances Related to Youth Crime Prevention in Guatemala

Agency for International Development

Description

Working with local and institutional actors, the Project will promote the participation of the private sector, local governments, Congress, civilian police, government institutions, community and youth leaders and other actors in the implementation and oversight of key prevention policy reforms and youth-oriented prevention programs. USAID recognizes the importance of these committed actors in previous crime prevention and violence reduction initiatives. USAID also recognizes the need to promote actions at all levels of society that support the deepening of democracy in Guatemala. The emphasis of this project is to strengthen community and public sector institutions by ensuring the replication of successful initiatives and the development and implementation of new ones. With this effort, USAID seeks to promote coordinated action and broad participation in crime prevention, while developing effective and comprehensive community-based strategies involving the private sector.
