This activity focuses on supporting targeted sector reform and central-level planning and policies in the education, nutrition, and health sectors. The project also supports the development of civil society capacity to undertake advocacy and accountability efforts and promote a policy dialogue among national, departmental, and local stakeholders. This project develops information system tools to expand accountability and transparency efforts in education, nutrition and health through civil society watchdogs and networks, and developed a pilot decentralization model.
Decentralization processes empower local municipal governments to improve health and education services. Educational opportunities, entrepreneurship and/or employment strengthen community rootedness and address the root causes that drive young Guatemalans to migrate from the Western Highlands to the United States, such as lack of health services and quality education and limited employment opportunities.
