LINC has been awarded the Local Partner Development Activity (LPD) final performance evaluation task order under the EVAL-ME II IDIQ.
LPD is an activity under the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) of the U.S. Department of State (DOS). In 2017, the activity began as a general organizational strengthening program working with local partners across several sectors. After two years, in 2019, the LPD activity transitioned to strengthening institutions that work in the youth crime and violence prevention sector and re-align with the revised CBSI Framework.
The purpose of this performance evaluation is threefold to (1) determine the extent to which the LPD activity’s strategic approach improved the resilience of targeted youth, their families, and communities to crime and violence; (2) assess the degree to which targeted local organizations are able to implement evidence-based programming to improve activity outcomes; and (3) examine the extent to which private sector engagement may improve the sustainability of youth crime and violence prevention interventions.
The LPD evaluation will be conducted by LINC and its partner The Cloudburst Group, between the months of September 2022 and January 2023.
