Guatemala Urban Municipal Governance Activity Baseline Study 2018

Description

The USAID/Guatemala Urban Municipal Governance (UMG) Activity contributes to increased governance and civic participation in vulnerable communities. The objective of UMG is to reduce violence, while increasing municipal services and transparency in the targeted municipalities. The purpose of the baseline study is to determine the degree of citizen satisfaction in the delivery of public services provided by the targeted institutions, focusing on aspects of access and quality of service. The effectiveness and efficiency of municipal governments, in terms of the provision of municipal public services in marginalized urban communities, depends largely on the link between the needs of the community, the services that meet those needs and the finances required to pay them. Within the baseline study, the necessary data was collected to know the Resilience Community Index in the selected communities. The Community Resilience Index was developed by USAID in 2012. Community resilience refers to the capacity of inhabitants of communities to confront or adapt to crime and violence.
