HN Safer Municipalities

closed

The objectives of the Safer Municipalities Project for Honduras are to support: (i) to improve the capacities of national and local authorities in violence prevention, (ii) to address risk factors of crime and violence in selected municipalities, and (iii) to improve its capacity to respond promptly and effectively to an eligible emergency. There are four components to the project, the first component being institutional strengthening of national-level violence prevention. This component includes two subcomponents: strengthening Secretariat of Security (SEDS) capacity to guide, coordinate, and oversee violence prevention activities, and strengthening the capacity of SEDS and selected municipalities to collect and process violence data. The second component is the integrated crime and violence prevention at municipal and community levels. The third component is the project administration and monitoring and evaluation. Finally, the fourth component is the Immediate Response Mechanism (IRM) contingent component. This component includes the provision of support to respond to an eligible emergency.
