MasterCard Worldwide, through its Impact Evaluator team, will develop recommendations for a data assessment framework and will share findings with LISC and other project partners, including nonprofit organizations under LISC’s Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative Capacity Building program.

LISC leverages the support of CNA (support development of the CVIPI checklist tool); Urban Peace Institute, Roca, Inc., PJ Fox, and Alliance of Concerned Men (support of planning and implementing CVIPI approach); and Dr. Shani Buggs, Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Anne Marks (impact of trauma and importance of trauma responsive efforts).
