EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The USAID Crime and Violence Prevention Project (CVPP), AID-519-C-00002, is a five-year project (March 2013-March 2018) that seeks to increase citizen safety in El Salvador by working with the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, mayors and community representatives across 55 high and medium-risk municipalities. The activities undertaken by the project are designed to build ownership of national government, local government and citizens to address crime and violence prevention at the community level. To ensure the achievement of these objectives, the project works across three components: Component 1: Increase Government of El Salvador’s capacity to prevent violence and crime on a national scale. Component 2: Municipal-led, community-based crime and violence prevention. Component 3: Innovative crime and violence prevention opportunities. Accordingly, the USAID Crime and Violence Prevention Project (CVPP) is proud to present its third Annual Report, covering the 2016 Fiscal year (FY), October 1, 2015-September 30, 2016. This report highlights programmatic activity and achievements across 49 municipalities. Twenty nine (29) of these municipalities were, and are currently being served under Component 11 of the CVPP, and an additional 20 municipalities are receiving support through Component 2. During the reporting period, the project continued intensive programming throughout medium and high risk municipalities, targeting pockets of vulnerable youth in high risk communities; and carried out important initiatives designed to strengthen institutional capacity at the central government, municipal and community levels by working with public officials, mayors, Municipal Councils, Municipal Prevention Committees and Community Development Organizations (ADESCOs) to build new technical capacities for work in crime and violence prevention. Last, the project continued to implement secondary prevention pilot programming across two Component 2 municipalities. These pilots will soon become regular programming tools, adding to the more than 40 crime and violence prevention tools already in use by the CVPP across all its intervention municipalities. CVPP’s work has touched the lives of more than
