Identifying associative entrepreneurship groups led by women to achieve their economic autonomy. This project aims to contribute to the improvement of living conditions and quality of life for women in the poorest and most excluded communities of El Salvador by strengthening their ability to earn a living. 

The project will achieve this through managing a business environment based on a solidary economy, including increased self-esteem, equality, and economic empowerment. The communities will also learn to better manage the environment, including natural resources and farming practices, and increasing resilience to the negative impacts and shocks of climate change and changing weather patterns. 

The specific objective of the project is to improve the socio-economic conditions of these women by strengthening their access to credit and creating a savings initiative (caja rural) to be used as seed capital to buy land and other assets for family production.
Strengthening local capacities to improve rural livelihoods In the last decade, cycles of droughts and floods have caused enormous impact in the region, especially in the marginalized population in El Salvador and the response mechanisms have been limited. More recently the tropical storm 12 E affected 95% of the country, especially the people who live along the Pacific coast. According to CEPAL, 2011the economic damage is estimated at around U$ 134.5 million. In this country 93% of the population live in rural areas and poverty levels are high, with some 47.21% of the population living in extreme poverty (less than a dollar a day). Most families are subsistence peasant farmers – some own small plots of land and others rent land located on badly eroded hillsides and often employing unsustainable farming practices, with a heavy use of and dependence on chemical inputs and imported seed. Access to credit or technical support for small producers is practically non-existent. Added to this, the community organisation and participation in political processes is weak and the involvement of women and young people is particularly poor. Structures at local level are not articulated at municipal level. This project aims to promote the sustainable livelihoods with a DRR approach. It will focus in strengthening organizational and productive processes, promoting a vision of sustainable development through the implementation of alternative, agro ecological techniques which protect and preserve the environment. It will ensure the full involvement of women and young people, strengthening their voice and leadership.
 On the theme of risk management the project aims to activate community committees to respond to emergency and disaster situations in the 12 communities. These bodies will be trained on important themes such as the legal framework for disaster prevention, the roles of each structure of this community committee in disaster risk reduction, the incorporation of the perspective of risk management, the importance of preparedness and mitigation in community planning.  

This project is looking to increase levels of food security and improve the socio-economic conditions of 12 rural communities in the municipality of Guaymango, through strengthening local organisational structures, promoting sustainable agricultural practices and incorporating the risk management approach, thereby improving the resilience capacity to an emergency and reducing vulnerability to disasters.
Strengthening Participatory Community Health Care experience in Guarjila During the past years the public health system in El Salvador has been in a state of crisis and disintegration.  The previous government’s plans for the privatisation of health services had generated strong opposition from large sectors of the population.  The new government set up a national health commission, including governmental and non-governmental representatives, to examine alternative models for health care management. The community health project in Guarjila was one of the experiences of participatory health care under consideration, with a health team made up mainly of local health promoters. Guarjila is an important partner in the HIV Regional Programme contributing to the goals established in the DFID PPA with CAFOD.

During this period of the new government the institutional relations with the Ministry of Health have improved considerably. Currently the Guarjila Clinic  belongs to the Ministry of Heath offering  good results in terms of health coverage, an integral maternity programme and secure employment for the staff, as well very good indicators of health and community participation, earning it the recognition of the WHO and the University of El Salvador as a model rural clinic. The cliinic now has a multi-disciplinary team of medical doctors and an outreach that extends in a radius of 40 kms of Guarjila, attending isolated rural communities and poor people from the Honduran border region, left abandoned by their own government. 

Guarjila is a rural community in the former conflict zone of El Salvador, situated in the north-eastern part of the Chalatenango Department, 8 km. from the town of Chalatenango and 80 km. from the capital, San Salvador. Its population in October, 1987 were refugees coming from Honduras.  In 2013,there are a total of 2319 people: 1198 girls and women and 1121 boys and men; 6% of children are under 5, 30% are adolescents and 46% of women are fertile (10-49 years old).

Their main difficulties in current times are economic hardship (unemployment and migration) and machismo, accompanied with alcoholism and drugs and related to gender based violence, as well as some social violence from small groups of youth.

This project aims to strengthen the participatory community health system in Guarjila, which emphasizes women and children’s health, and to address health promotion issues such as gender equity and domestic violence, health as a human right, dental and mental health care, as part of their services to improve well being of girls, boys, women and men of all ages in this community.
Indigenous Municipal Ordinance in Panchimalco The financial support for this project comes from CAFOD's innovation fund.  In El Salvador, indigenous peoples do not have explicit recognition guaranteeing their rights, nor has the country ratified ILO convention 169 establishing that  “Indigenous and tribal peoples shall enjoy the full measure of human rights and fundamental freedoms without hindrance or discrimination. The provisions of the Convention shall be applied without discrimination to male and female members of these peoples”.  Consequently the indigenous people in the  municipality of Panchimalco, department of San Salvador put forward a proposal to use a municipal ordinance to create a legal framework that will help to change this situation. This sector has always been at a disadvantage, suffering socio-economic inequality and dispossession of their land. This Ordinance seeks to ensure and make known their rights and to strengthen their identity, culture, language, customs and traditions so that they can live in dignity and seek self-determination as Nahuatl-Pipil indigenous people, individually or collectively. 
 
The activities will be conducted using a participatory approach in which the inclusion of the indigenous population, especially indigenous women will be promoted. For this to happen there will be meetings where the ordinance will be built with the participation of an expert on indigenous rights, with follow up to make known the ordinance within  Panchimalco and with other Salvadoran municipalities having indigenous populations. Furthermore, the spirit of this proposal is that this ordinance is the beginning of the struggle by the indigenous people to support the creation of a constitutional reform.
Promotion and Defence of Human Rights in El Salvador Despite the signing of the peace accords in El Salvador more than 15 years ago, peace-building and the defence of human rights continues to be a high priority for this small country that suffers disproportionate levels of violence. In the past, the lack of political will to address unresolved cases of torture, disappearances and massacres during the civil war stood as a major obstacle to achieving peace and reconciliation within Salvadoran society. However with the new FMLN government of Mauricio Funes and its stated commitment to build a just and democratic society, while respecting human rights, there is an unprecedented opportunity to advance significantly in the objectives of this project. This new political will faces challenges as El Salvador is affected by the wave of social violence common in many post war societies, which is fuelled by drug trafficking, economic hardship and lack of job opportunities for much of the population. The presence of youth gangs and organised crime syndicates continues to be a major contributing factor to the increase in social violence and delinquency. Feminicides (women’s murders) have increased rampantly in the last years denoting a serious problem with gender-based violence.

To address this situation Tutela Legal’s institutional program is promoting and defending human rights directed at the most vulnerable and violated sectors of society, women, men and children, who lack resources and possibilities to have their human rights respected.  Tutela’s programme includes legal aid, advocacy, and organisational and educational support on human rights, especially to human rights parish commissions.  Investigative processes of human rights violations, training processes, promotion, consulting and organizational strengthening are part of the programme.  Information, assistance and support to this vulnerable population will be provided in a participatory manner, a process that allows beneficiaries to appropriate legal tools to strengthen their ability to become true subjects to transform their reality.  Processes will also be carried out for the formation of parish pastoral agents to prevent violence and to promote social harmony in nine municipalities that have been most affected by violence.
Empowering women through agroecology, entrepreneurship, financial inclusion and solidarity economy For women in El Salvador, there are limited options for generating income. Women tend to do housework or work in maquilas, exposing them to precarious jobs. In the rural context, this is even more complex as women have even less opportunities and face greater marginalisation. Lack of land ownership, a limited asset base and limited access to economic opportunities are also important factors that contribute to their exclusion. Women face inequality and suffer abuse in many ways in El Salvador.
Lack of economic means, opportunities and financial illiteracy prevents women to be able to take decisions on their own. Further, women are more vulnerable to food insecurity due to the impact of climate shocks and stressors in their livelihoods. This project will holistically work with the following themes: 
- Food security and care for the natural environment. 
- Community microfinance for women and financial literacy in a safe environment: saving groups, cooperative groups
- Economic enterprises for income generation in initiatives led by women. 
- Awareness-raising and training for gender equality
- Community organisation and inclusive leadership
The project will work with 580 households (including 393 adult women and 153 under 18 girls/young women) from municipal & San Antonio del Monte in dept. of Sonsonate. All in the occident of ELS.
The strategies of the project involve promotion of agroecology, saving groups, entrepreneurial initiatives and women cooperatives. 
Outcome 1: 30 women leaders have improved their knowledge about gender equity and replicate it within their groups. 
Outcome 2: 300 household farmers have improved their food security through agroecological practices and environmental protection practices. 
Outcome 3: 546 women improve their economic status and independence through increased incomes as a result of the economic and entrepreneurial activities.
Hurricane Ida Rehabilitation Project The aim of this project is to support the rehabilitation of households affected by Hurricane Ida in the Municipality of Santa Cruz Michapa, Cuscatlán Department; and contribute to the reduction of hazard vulnerability at household and community level. The project will focus on rehabilitating structural measures such as contention walls, drainage systems and community foot paths, to reduce household and community vulnerability to natural disasters. It will also rehabilitate latrines which were made unusable after the hurricane and pose a risk of contamination and the spreading of water-borne diseases to the population. The project will also raise awareness among local government authorities and institutions on disaster risk reduction and strengthen their capacity and ownership of these processes to ensure sustainability of the intervention. This 4 months emergency rehabilitation and DRR project will work directly with 100 households (600 individuals) and a further 1000 individuals indirectly.
Strengthening of advocacy processes on environmental issues in El Salvador. El Salvador has 590 rivers, 70% of which are polluted (Bishops' Conference, 2021). The Salvadoran state has historically refused to recognise the human right to water at the constitutional level. This has had an impact in terms of low public investment in the most vulnerable communities, as well as increased local and national conflicts with companies that, in the absence of legal protection, use water for commercial purposes without appropriate regulation. This is aggravated by the fact that, due to its geographical location, the country's original water sources come from transboundary basins between Honduras and Guatemala, which means that any extractive activity in those countries puts El Salvador's water availability in greater crisis. There are also clear signs that the current government intends to repeal the Law banning metallic mining (passed in 2017), such as political openness with investors in this industry, the promotion of alliances for "responsible mining for sustainable development", as well as the creation of public entities with competences related to mining, without distinguishing its type and scope.
The project aims to raise awareness at social, church, and institutional levels about the consequences of 3 specific business initiatives with regional, national, and local impact in the areas of mining and construction that threaten El Salvador's water sustainability, increase forced displacement, and produce legal uncertainty. The aim is to contribute to stop the progress of their implementation by developing strategies that strengthen community organisation processes, social dialogue, legal defence, and environmental protection mechanisms in an integrated manner. The partnership will also work to deepen intersectoral alliances to promote legal instruments against transboundary mining. In addition, systematic work will be developed to dignify the role of environmental defenders and strengthen community water management.
University commitment to social change in El Salvador This project is framed in the Institutional Strategic Plan of UCA (PEI 2021-2025), specifically in its Proposal 4 related to Social Outreach, which seeks to strengthen the capacity of the UCA to influence reality, proposing public policies and solutions to national and regional problems that most affect the population. The partner will coordinate and generate synergies with different actors -internal and external- according in order to increase citizen awareness, to monitor, analyse and communicate the national reality and its challenges related to democracy, human rights and sustainable human development.
Promoting behavioural changes towards gender equality CONTRASIDA, founded by Maryknoll sisters, working since 1994 in favor of poor people living with HIV or affected by HIV, is focusing its work in this project in the departments of San Salvador, Sonsonate and La Paz, reaching 141 women and 221 men (362 people) directly, and 1,105 women and 705 men (1,810 people) indirectly in 2014.
The project aims to contribute to generate socio-cultural changes in favor of HIV and gender-based violence prevention  in women and men who participate in Contrasida's activities (trainings on gender, HIV and Human Rights; radio on-line programme and educational materials), using a human rights approach.
