El Salvador

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.
