Acción Joven, Costa Rica
Acción Joven delivered an intensive training process for leadership and technical teams within the Ministry of Justice and Peace’s Juvenile Justice level, as part of Project Fénix. The goal was clear: to strengthen institutional capacity to plan, manage, and evaluate social programs focused on violence prevention.
A total of 12 professionals from different sites took part—including staff from social work, counseling, administration, and management—enabling interdisciplinary dialogue and the co-creation of solutions tailored to each center’s reality.
Through practical, hands-on sessions, participants worked on situational diagnosis, problem trees, the formulation of objectives and project designs, the Logical Framework and results chain; as well as the design of indicators aligned with MIDEPLAN guidelines, and key concepts related to monitoring, evaluation, and social value.
The program concluded with concrete outcomes: each center advanced its own proposals with a technical approach grounded in human rights and intersectionality; informed decision-making, collaboration, and the team’s strategic vision were strengthened.Overall, the training consolidated leadership and cohesion to improve services and expand opportunities for the young people within the juvenile justice system
