At the meeting, the two countries agreed to continue their bilateral cooperation and to maintain thematic continuity.
The formulation of two new projects was therefore launched in 2023. The first project aims to improve youth employment through young people’s digital skills. This project is part of the “Digital Jobs” Team Europe Initiative, and will build on training efforts undertaken as part of a project funded by the European Union and implemented by Expertise France. The second project focuses on South-South and triangular cooperation and will position the El Salvador government as a contributor in terms of development cooperation, as well as a recipient.
At the end of 2022, Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation launched a new project with its long-standing partner Fundación Nacional para el Desarrollo (FUNDE). The project, which will continue until 2025, has the overarching objective of helping to strengthen democratic governance and the rule of law in El Salvador through civic participation, the creation of alliances, the strengthening of the capacities of citizens’ organisations and the promotion of dialogue.
The ATTF/House of Training is active in El Salvador, providing training for financial sector professionals.
A Luxembourgish NGO, Action Solidarité Tiers Monde, is currently working in El Salvador, with a programme focused on strengthening human rights, democratic participation and support for civil society.
