Regional Development Cooperation Strategy 2015-2019 for Central America and Mexico.
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications that may result in multiple awards such as cooperative agreements or grants from qualified U.S. and Non-U.S. organizations to fund a program entitled “Democracy and Governance Programmatic areas”. There are three programmatic areas, and eligibility for these awards is restricted to local Salvadoran organizations only for Programmatic area 3; see Section C of this NFO for eligibility requirements.
El Salvador is the third largest economy in Central America, and the most densely populated, with 6.2 million mainly urban inhabitants.
In the years following the end of the civil war in 1992, El Salvador made significant democratic advances, including successive free and fair elections.
While the democratic transition has been accompanied by significant, social and economic progress and social indicators such as infant mortality rates and literacy have improved, poverty and inequality of opportunity have increased as problems.
USAID’s SolucionES Project promotes effective parenting roles as a basic tool for violence prevention.
USAID SolucionES Project provides youth with tools to become positive community leaders who make a difference.
The SolucionES Project helps communities in El Salvador unite and develop adult and youth leaders, an important element to stop violence from spreading and start promoting peaceful coexistence. To do this, SolucionES carries out leadership training for youth to improve their communication skills, project management, human rights, and other areas.
