Grant Description

While the department of Sonsonate with high out-migration has natural and cultural resources that could draw in domestic tourism entrepreneurs who offer tourism services lack municipal support or access to best practices in sustainable tourism businesses. The IAF supports community-led solutions to expand economic opportunities.

Our partner Asociacin Agencia para el Desarrollo Econmico Local del Departamento de Sonsonate (ADEL Sonsonate) offers training and technical assistance activities to entrepreneurs in the municipalities of Caluco Armenia Cuisnahuat and Tepecoyo to position community tourism as an important economic alternative for the region.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America.
