The Country Office of El Salvador aims to contribute to generating sustainable and inclusive economic growth, capable of facing current challenges and providing better opportunities and access to basic services for the population, thereby contributing to reducing levels of poverty and inequality.
The objective of the IDB Group country strategy with El Salvador for the period 2021-2024 is to help mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the country’s prospects for recovery and to achieve more vigorous, inclusive, and sustainable growth over the medium term. To support this objective, the proposed approach for the years ahead responds to the country’s most immediate needs deriving from the health crisis and its social and economic impacts, while supporting the process of fiscal consolidation and the restructuring of production. In this regard, three priority areas have been identified to guide the IDB Group’s support for the government program:
(i) fiscal sustainability and efficiency;
(ii) reducing social vulnerability; and
(iii) revitalizing and restructuring production. Gender, diversity, climate change, and natural disasters will be addressed in a cross-cutting way. The country strategy has been the outcome of an extensive dialogue with the country authorities and civil society, and it has taken into account how the global impacts of the pandemic are evolving and its short-to-medium term repercussions for El Salvador as well as the structural challenges the country faces.
