Contexte

Latin America and the Caribbean is the most violent region in the world, 36% of homicides occur in the region). Root causes of violence are multifactorial and correlated with high levels of inequality, pockets of poverty and state fragility. The situation is compounded by institutional weakness and lack of citizen confidence in institutions which should provide security, rule of law, police, justice and penitential services. It is therefore essential that security policies in the region should be based on reliable information data on crime, exchange of knowledge, continued dialog and cooperation among countries and international organisations. 

Objectifs

Enhanced effectiveness of citizen security policies in the region by contributing to the Citizen Security Initiative through its Multidonor Fund.

Groupes cibles

The main direct beneficiaries include regional member countries and their personnel (government and non-government), as well as partner organizations on regional and national level. Indirectly the populations of the countries of the regions will benefit for improved crime prevention policies.
