1 Workshop Initiatives for Crime and Violence Prevention in Central America: Scope for inter-agency collaboration Organized by The World Bank, and the Inter-American Coalition for the Prevention of Violence (IACPV) AGENDA April 25th, 2008 From 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The World Bank 1818 H Street Washington D.C Room: MC-9-100
2 AGENDA Initiatives for Crime and Violence Prevention in Central America: Scope for inter-agency collaboration Crime, violence and public security have become a serious development issue. The report of the United Nations on Crime and Development in Central America, Caught in the Crossfire 1, published on May 2007, highlights that Guatemala and El Salvador rank among the most dangerous nations in the world, base on the most recent crime trends surveys (CTS). Experts argued the Central America crime situation is caused by two main problems: the exposure to drug flows and the high levels of violence in its societies. In this context, recent reports showed that homicide rates in the region had increased as well as the rate of violence against women and children. Another core crime problem is the gang culture in countries like El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. For example, in Honduras 5% of the entire male population aged are members of gangs 2. As a consequence high rates of crime and violence in the region have both direct effects on human welfare in the short-run and longer run effects on economic growth and social development. As a result, the Inter-American Coalition for the Prevention of Violence (IACPV), an alliance of inter-american and international organizations and regional agencies, currently hosted by the Organization of American States, was formed to develop strategies and solutions to address high levels of violence and crime in the Americas & the Caribbean. The purpose of the Coalition is to act as a catalyst for the prevention of violence in the region by increasing knowledge about systematic violence prevention and by facilitating the development of partnerships and programs that put this knowledge into practice. The objective of this workshop is to discuss the initiatives and experiences of the coalition members and other relevant agencies in order to consolidate ways to prevent crime and violence in Central America. The participant institutions will develop a concept proposal and guidelines indicating how the international community can assist Central America countries to fight against violence incorporating a crime prevention mentality into the development interventions. 1 United Nations, Office on Drugs and Crime, Report: Crime and Development in Central America, Caught in the Crossfire, May United Nations, Office on Drugs and Crime, Report: Crime and Development in Central America, Caught in the Crossfire, May 2007.
