Activity under preparation Promoting good governance and democracy through support to Legislature, citizens and media The Action consists of three components to provide technical support to: i) the citizens ii) the Legislative Assembly and the iii) CSOs and media. It mainly builds on the EU Election Observation Missions (EOMs) that took place in 2018 and 2019 and the 2021 follow-up mission¿s recommendations to improve the electoral processes. On the other hand, most of the young generation of politicians have limited political experience or expertise. Interestingly, many members of the Legislative Assembly have expressed keen interest in receiving international support to improve their capacities and better perform their functions. This also would be an opportunity to make Members of Parliaments (MPs) from different parties work together, foment dialogue and decrease polarization. Finally, social media and information control has had, and will continue to have, a huge impact on the results of electoral processes. Given the lack of clear and consistent regulations on information and online campaigning, the media need to qualify about the use of specific tools and methodologies to fact-check news, fighting disinformation and hate speech.To implement the Action, the Delegation favours a combined approach: i) a Contribution Agreement with UNDP, with the appropriate technical expertise and experience with all stakeholders (Legislative Assembly, media and CSOs), together with ii) a ¿Twinning light¿ modality, which is considered essential in order to bring to El Salvador the EU example on Legislature¿s good practises.The aim of this Action is to promote a more inclusive, participatory and transparent governance and strengthen democracy in El Salvador¿.The three components are as follows: -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Component 1: will strengthen the electoral participation of citizens as well as inclusivity, including women, and marginalized groups (indigenous people, people with disabilities, LGBTI) and transparency of electoral processes through: i) promoting informed voting and the participation of all citizens, ii) enhancing the representation of under-represented groups as candidates, iii) supporting the role of civil society in monitoring and observing electoral processes (through a CfP to CSOs managed by UNDP).-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Component 2: will improve the Legislative Assembly¿s performance through training and capacity building activities (i-e on negotiation techniques, communication and protocol; normative techniques and good regulatory practices, public finances, constitutional, public, international and comparative law, gender policies, climate change, human rights and minorities¿ inclusion). This also would be an opportunity to make MPs from different parties work together and foment dialogue. (Through Twinning).-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Component 3: will counter disinformation and hate speech through supporting fact-checking activities: El Salvador has seen the multiplication of false, exaggerated or contradictory information in particular since the recent electoral campaigns and the Covid 19 pandemic.
