Republic of El Salvador Country strategic opportunities programme 2023-2031

The overall objective of this COSOP is to reduce poverty and food insecurity among the rural population living in vulnerable conditions in the poorest areas of El Salvador, with special emphasis on Indigenous Peoples, women, youth and persons with disabilities. This will be achieved by promoting fair, inclusive and sustainable agrifood systems that provide nutritious and adequate diets.

Two strategic objectives will be tackled:

• Strategic objective 1. Institutions, enterprises and small rural farmers living in poverty enhance rural livelihoods and income through resilient and inclusive businesses and employment opportunities.
• Strategic objective 2. Poor rural households belonging to the most vulnerable communities strengthen their adaptation to climate change and their resilience.
