Grantee Profiles

The Fund maintains grant-making programs in Mexico and Guatemala. Both countries are in a critical phase for human rights: Mexico as it navigates the transition to democracy, and Guatemala as it struggles to overcome the legacy of civil war. In both countries, a primary challenge lies in ensuring that changes in the political landscape produce more accountable public institutions, particularly the justice system and police or security forces. The Fund supports forty-eight human rights organizations in these two countries. The Fund’s human rights priorities include: reform of the police and judicial system, community-based legal defense and advocacy, promotion of rule of law and access to justice, and promoting land rights for peasant farmers and indigenous peoples.
