Project Description
Victims of Guatemala’s protracted civil conflict from the departments of Quiché, Huehuetenango, Chimaltenango, and Alta and Baja Verapaz, continue to contend with poor socio-economic conditions, discrimination, and underinvestment in basic social services. At the IAF, we support community-led solutions to enhance peace and security in Guatemala. Our grantee partner, Asociación Centro Internacional para Investigaciones en Derechos Humanos (CIIDH), strengthens the capacity of the Movimiento Nacional de Víctimas Q’anil Tinamit, the Guatemalan victims’ movement, to protect victims’ rights and advocate for their needs at a national level. CIIDH is assessing the socioeconomic conditions of victims and, based on their findings, providing rights-based training and technical assistance to strengthen their local committees.
