Abstract

The report presents findings from a nationwide survey conducted in 2015. The survey involved 3,712 adults and aimed to assess resilience in the face of conflict across four dimensions: socio-environmental conditions, violence and insecurity, fragility of public institutions, and socio-economic challenges. The methodology included random geographic sampling and structured interviews, revealing that Guatemalans face deep-rooted issues like distrust in government and ongoing violence, yet exhibit resilience through social cohesion and community-level engagement in peacebuilding and security efforts
