Strengthening the national victims' movement Q'anil Tinamit, Guatemala

Victims of Guatemala's protracted civil conflict from the departments of Quich Huehuetenango Chimaltenango and Alta and Baja Verapaz continue to contend with poor socioeconomic conditions discrimination and underinvestment in basic social services. At the IAF we support community-led solutions to enhance peace and security in Guatemala.

Our grantee partner Asociacin Centro Internacional para Investigaciones en Derechos Humanos (CIIDH) strengthens the capacity of the Movimiento Nacional de Vctimas Q'anil Tinamit the Guatemalan victims' movement to protect victims' rights and advocate for their needs at a national level.

CIIDH is assessing the socioeconomic conditions of victims and based on their findings providing rights-based training and technical assistance to strengthen their local committees. This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
