Community Strengthening Project: The overall goal of the Community Strengthening Project is to support efforts by Government of Guatemala (GOG), civil society and community actors to address the causes and consequences of violence through holistic prevention approaches. The intent is to contribute to GOG and USG objectives of decreasing violent crime rates in targeted areas. This Community Strengthening Project will be USAID/Guatemala’s violence prevention project and has four complementary and mutually reinforcing objectives. These are to: 1. Support community commissions to institutionalize proven, integrated violence prevention projects in targeted areas; 2. Strengthen and mobilize municipal and national stakeholders and resources to develop and implement municipal-level prevention plans; 3. Support secondary prevention projects in close coordination with municipal authorities; and 4. Promote and integrate evidence-based policy making among prevention actors.
