Supporting Victims of Violence Activity

The USAID Supporting Victims of Violence Activity will strengthen awareness of and access to trauma-informed services for survivors, witnesses, and perpetrators of violence, leading to shifts in attitudes and increased resilience to the risk factors faced by youth, families, and communities that make them susceptible to crime and violence.

Specifically, the activity will strengthen the capacity of the Government of Jamaica (GOJ), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and civil society organizations (CSOs) to provide quality support services and foster coordination through collective action initiatives (CAIs) in hotspot communities that identify, prevent, and respond to violence.
