New Report Details U.S. Foundation Funding in Latin America

On Friday, the presidents of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, along with Vice President Joe Biden and Inter-American Development Bank President Luis Alberto Moreno, presented a plan to enhance prosperity and prevent violence in the Northern Triangle. The plan focuses on stimulating the productive sector to create economic opportunities; building human capital; improving public safety and enhancing access to the legal system; and strengthening civil institutions. The plan will require support and guidance from the United States and other allies to ensure its successful implementation. As demonstrated by the report, leveraging existing investments by U.S. foundations would be a valuable addition to that effort.
