Through a local civil society organization (CSO) partner, HEP+ successfully delivered 12 trainings to leaders from partner civil society organizations in Guatemala. Representatives from National Alliance of Indigenous Women’s Organizations for Reproductive Health (ALIANMISAR), the National Network of Men, and Young Artists for Social Justice (JAxJS) received trainings on project and financial management, fundraising, proposal development, marketing, and conducting social audits. The 12 sessions were attended by 1,863 participants from the various networks, and the average increase in knowledge as demonstrated by pre- and post-tests was 34 percent. HEP+’s collaborative partner was the Consultora Multi-Profesional S.A., which also provided mentorship opportunities for 70 network leaders with the aim of developing their skills through practical exercises in each of the training topic areas. Following these trainings, civil society groups are more empowered to sustain their gains in skills and knowledge and to hold authorities to account. For example, after the trainings, three civil society networks of Totonicapán organized a meeting with their Health Area Directorate in June to learn about the 2020-2021 budget execution of the Crecer Sano program, which aims to combat chronic malnutrition. The civil society groups of Totonicapán will be conducting new budget analyses with the information gathered during the meeting and will develop strategies to make better use of the program's financial resources.
