CAF and Proyecto Alcatraz: the Venezuelan model showing how cooperation between multilateral organizations and the private sector can build peace
The signing of the Phase II Protocol Act for the project “Comprehensive Psychosocial Care with an Emphasis on Restorative Justice for Persons Deprived of Liberty” between CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean and the NGO Proyecto Alcatraz represents far more than a technical cooperation agreement focused on Venezuela’s prison system. The agreement has become a concrete example of the potential collaboration between multilateral organizations and the private sector to promote social reintegration, violence prevention, and peacebuilding processes in Latin America.
