Margarita R. Seminario sits down with Jose Miguel Cruz, Director of Research at Florida International University's Kimberly Green Latin American and Caribbean Center. Jose Miguel shares the results of two USAID-funded studies prepared with Democracy International on gang disengagement in Guatemala and Honduras. They examine the conditions that facilitate gang exit and the role non-state actors like the faith-based groups, civil society organizations, and the private sector can play in promoting gang disengagement. Also, they discuss practical policy recommendations for the U.S. and Northern Triangle governments to promote an enabling environment that reduces gang involvement and promotes decent employment for youth to break the cycle of encierro, destierro, y entierro.
