PRESS RELEASE – 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 areas of Castries Central, Dennery, Soufriere, Anse-La-Ray and Vieux Fort, following approval from the Government of St. Lucia to work in these communities. Activities will commence with a baseline survey during the period March to April 2017 and continue with consultations aimed at establishing community and violence prevention committees.
For additional information, please contact CFYR at 453-0398.
