Improving Security in Haiti through Relationship Building in the Community
FY 2016-17 · 2017-03-29
Summary
This initiative seeks to address youth violence in Haiti by engaging and empowering youth, and young adults to have a voice in community decision making. In Haiti youth, who increasingly lack hope for the future, have limited economic opportunities, have experienced interruptions in their education, have broken ties with families and have experienced violence and discrimination.
With GAC’s support, Mercy Corps addresses two key drivers of community violence: (1) a lack of voice for youth and young adults in decisions affecting their communities; and (2) scarce social and economic opportunities that offer productive alternatives to crime and violence. Mercy Corps intends to implement targeted activities that address specific drivers of violence for different age groups of the community, which include female, male, and priority youth and adolescents.

Description
This initiative seeks to address youth violence in Haiti by engaging and empowering youth, and young adults to have a voice in community decision making. In Haiti youth, who increasingly lack hope for the future, have limited economic opportunities, have experienced interruptions in their education, have broken ties with families and have experienced violence and discrimination.
With GAC’s support, Mercy Corps addresses two key drivers of community violence: (1) a lack of voice for youth and young adults in decisions affecting their communities; and (2) scarce social and economic opportunities that offer productive alternatives to crime and violence. Mercy Corps intends to implement targeted activities that address specific drivers of violence for different age groups of the community, which include female, male, and priority youth and adolescents.
Description (French)
Cette initiative vise à contrer la violence chez les jeunes en Haïti en mobilisant les jeunes et les jeunes adultes et en renforçant leur autonomie afin qu’ils aient leur mot à dire dans le processus de décision communautaire. En Haïti, les jeunes, qui ont de moins en moins d’espoir en l’avenir, ont des possibilités économiques limitées et ont connu des interruptions dans leur cheminement scolaire. Un grand nombre de jeunes ont rompu les liens avec leur famille et ont été victimes de violence et de discrimination.
Avec le soutien d’AMC, Mercy Corps s’attaque à deux facteurs clés de la violence communautaire : 1) l’incapacité pour les jeunes et les jeunes adultes de se faire entendre à propos des décisions qui concernent leur collectivité; 2) le manque de possibilités économiques et sociales offrant des solutions de rechange efficaces au crime et à la violence. Mercy Corps entend mettre en œuvre des activités ciblant des facteurs précis de violence pour différents groupes d’âge, dont les femmes, les hommes ainsi que les jeunes et les adolescents prioritaires.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased partnership between communities and police on achieving security; (2) increased youth participation in community decision-making and peacebuilding processes; and (3) increased demonstration of constructive behaviours and positive participation by youth in Haiti’s Carrefour Feuilles, Canaan and Arcahaie and Miragoane communities.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) partenariat renforcé entre les collectivités et la police pour assurer la sécurité; 2) participation accrue des jeunes dans les processus de consolidation de la paix et de décision communautaires; 3) démonstration accrue de comportements constructifs et de participation positive chez les jeunes des collectivités de Carrefour Feuilles, Canaan et Arcahaie et Miragoâne.

Programme pour la stabilisation et les opérations de paix
Program Purpose
The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
Program Purpose (French)
Le Programme pour la stabilisation et les opérations de paix (PSOPs) est un volet crucial de la trousse d’outils du gouvernement du Canada en vue de prévenir les conflits et les crises à l’étranger et d’y réagir. Il soutient les réponses rapides, efficaces et coordonnées à l’échelle du gouvernement à une vaste gamme d’enjeux et constitue un instrument précieux à l’appui de la stabilité dans les régions touchées par des conflits. PSOPs offre une aide visible et concrète en réaction à des conflits et des crises à l’étranger par des programmes ciblés, le déploiement de policiers canadiens (en partenariat avec Sécurité publique Canada et la GRC) et de personnel civil, et achemine le soutien à l’ONU et aux opérations de paix multilatérales, à la prévention de conflits, à la médiation et aux activités de consolidation de la paix.
