USAID FUNDED COMMUNITY, FAMILY AND YOUTH RESILIANCE PROGRAM COMMENCING BASELINE SURVEY

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Community, Family and Youth Resilience (CFYR) program supports family networks, communities, service providers and government agencies to implement successful approaches to reduce crime and violence and increase opportunities for youth in St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis and Guyana.
The program will use community crime and violence prevention plans that strengthen data-driven observatories to conduct hotspot crime and violence mapping, adapt a public health approach to reducing violence, connect the community to service providers to support at-risk youth, and build linkages with the private sector to support youth employment.
CFYR is preparing to implement key activities in communities in St. George, Gingerland and St. John Figtree in Nevis.
Activities will commence with a baseline survey during the period February 01 to February 10th in these communities, and continue throughout February with consultations aimed at establishing community and violence prevention committees.
