Organization: Mercy Corps
Country: Guatemala
Closing date: 06 Jul 2017

Program / Department Summary

To sustainably reduce crime and prevent violence, communities and governments need skills, structures and relationships to address the factors driving insecurity. Our strategy leverages Mercy Corps’ global leadership in developing community resilience in violence prone environments. Improving the ability of individuals, families, communities and government to work together will enable them to end the cycle of violence, weak governance and poverty. Our strategy also recognizes that gangs have a ready supply of young people to join their ranks as long as youth lack protection, school advancement, economic opportunities and mentoring relationships to help them thrive.

Recognizing that violence is multi-determined, our Convivimos design creates an integrated response by viewing individuals, families, communities and government as part of an interconnected system, addressing social, economic, urban, environmental and political factors at each of these levels. The CONVIVIMOS Project is based on the following theory of change: If individual, family, community and government capacities are improved, then communities’ resilience will increase and communities will become safer and more secure. Our strategic design is guided by five key principles: local partnership promotes a sustainable response with communities, government and private sector leading and co-investing in interventions; a place-based approach integrates a comprehensive crime and violence prevention response at the community level; activities are evidence-based, using data and best practices to inform design and contribute to learning; we incorporate piloting and scaling of innovations.

The Convivimos Project is a $40 million Cooperative Agreement funded through the generous support of USAID being implemented over five years (through June 2020) in at least 80 urban communities in six municipalities around and including Guatemala City. This metropolitan area experiences a majority of the country’s recorded homicides.

CSP partners with local NGOs, communities, municipalities and the National Ministry of Violence Prevention to address the causes and consequences of violence through holistic prevention approaches. It has four complementary and mutually integrating objectives to: 1) strengthen urban communities to institutionalize proven, integrated violence prevention activities; 2) strengthen and mobilize municipal and national stakeholders and resources to develop and implement municipal-level violence prevention plans; 3) support secondary prevention projects in close coordination with municipal and community structures; and 4) promote and integrate evidence-based policy making among violence prevention actors.

General Position Summary

The Chief of Party reports to the Mercy Corps Country Director in Guatemala and is responsible for providing overall leadership, management and strategic vision to the implementation of the Convivimos program and ensuring that the program meets its targets and deliverables on-time, on-scope, and on budget.

S/he will be the primary program representative to donors, relevant government entities, partners, other implementers and stakeholders.
