El Salvador
The Challenge
Despite a decade of social, political and economic gains, El Salvador continues to face daunting development challenges. These range from high levels of rural poverty, to vulnerability to natural disasters, to an economy that falls short of providing enough good jobs to keep the population gainfully employed. Poverty rates are close to 44% in the rural areas. There is a broad consensus across Salvadoran society and within the donor community that the critical short-term challenge is one of reducing polarization, stimulating job creation, and promoting broader participation of Salvadorans in the economic benefits of growth. Hopefully, the passage of the Central America and Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) will begin to make a significant difference in job creation as trade-led foreign and domestic investment increases.
