Strengthening Local Governance for Security and Development in El Salvador

The USAID-funded Strengthening Local Governance for Security and Development in El Salvador project aims to build consensus around increased decentralization, enhance intergovernmental coordination, and strengthen the ability of municipalities to plan for, administer, pay for and deliver effective, responsive services in a participatory and accountable manner.

The project will operate at the national, intermediary and municipal levels. At the national level, the project will focus on improving national support and frameworks for decentralization.

At the intermediary level, the project will strengthen intergovernmental coordination and foster inter-municipal partnerships. At the municipal level, the project will build the fundamental capacity of municipalities to effectively govern.
