Description

In Central America, violent criminal and drug trafficking organizations, transnational youth gangs, and other criminal networks operate with virtual impunity and take advantage of weak government institutions, undermining citizen security and the rule of law. The U.S. created the Mí©rida Initiative and later the Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI) to help Central American countries respond to these threats. From FY 2008 through 2011, U.S. agencies allocated $350 million in assistance funding for CARSI activities. CARSI assistance employs an integrated approach to support anti-corruption, judicial reform, anti-gang, community policing, and corrections efforts, as well as crime prevention, law enforcement, and counternarcotics programs. Assistance to fund these activities has come from four accounts: International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement (INCLE); Economic Support Fund (ESF); Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining, and Related Programs (NADR); and Foreign Military Financing (FMF). This report provides information on the status of funding provided under CARSI to support programs in partner countries as of Sept. 30, 2011. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
