This USAID department is offering this grant to significantly reduce social conflict and violence and boost social cohesion and peacebuilding efforts within Guatemala’s Western Highlands Region. This grant is for the purpose of contributing to objectives set by both the Government of Guatemala and the United States Government, specifically promoting development, alleviating poverty, and decreasing irregular migration. The project intends to unite diverse community sectors and stakeholders across the Western Highlands to pinpoint and tackle the primary drivers of social conflict at familial, community, and municipal levels. The grant will address these conflict drivers by focusing on recommendations from USAID/Guatemala’s 2015 assessment, including youth and families, governance, land, and issues related to extractive industries and natural resource exploitation.
