Strengthening organizational, participatory and economic capacities with gender equality of 300 people from 8 Community Development Associations (ADESCOS), from Aguilares, El Paisnal and San Pablo Tacachico. Phase II

El Salvador

Justification

This is a second phase of the project started in 2018, which ends in 2021, with which important progress has been made. But there is a need to expand it, in order to consolidate, with more time and resources, the actions carried out and the achievements obtained in the first phase and, likewise, extend the action to more beneficiaries. In addition, the context of action has been altered by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has destabilized structures and brought socio-economic vulnerability, so this second phase of the project also aims to alleviate as much as possible the effects of this new situation.
