What the grant funds
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a “Police Athletic League (PAL) Program Evaluation and Outcomes Study for El Salvador." The purpose of this project is to evaluate the methods, outcomes, and effectiveness of the PAL Program through scientifically validated data sources and studies conducted with youth who have completed the course curriculum since 2012 and with the municipalities that participate in the program. INL seeks to understand the effectiveness of the PAL program and to share the full results and best practices with relevant host nation and implementing partners assisting in program implementation. The implementer’s research team will conduct an analysis of the most relevant factors contributing to results, challenges hindering impact, and any unintended outcomes (if applicable). This study may provide relevant information for the PNC and implementer to tailor their approaches to at-risk youth and countering gang violence.
