The fourth session of the Commission for Bilateral Dialogue between El Salvador and Luxembourg was held in San Salvador in April 2024, with the participation of Adriana Mira, El Salvador’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs. At the meeting, the two countries agreed to continue their cooperation and to maintain thematic continuity. Two projects were formulated as part of this process. The first, which has already entered its implementation phase, addresses youth employment in the digital sector. It aims to support young people who are looking for work, either by connecting them with private sector companies or by helping them to develop their own business. The project is part of the Team Europe Digital Jobs Initiative, and builds on training efforts undertaken as part of a project funded by the European Union and implemented by Expertise France. The second project, set to begin in 2025, focuses on South-South and triangular cooperation and will position the Salvadoran government as both a contributor and a recipient in the development cooperation landscape. At the end of 2022, Luxembourg Development Cooperation launched a new project with its long-standing partner Fundación Nacional para el Desarrollo (FUNDE). The project, which will continue into 2025, aims to help strengthen democratic governance and the rule of law in El Salvador through civic participation, alliance-building, strengthening the capacities of citizen organisations and promoting dialogue. The ATTF/House of Training is active in El Salvador, offering training for professionals in the financial sector. A Luxembourg NGO, Action Solidarité Tiers Monde, is currently working in El Salvador, with a programme focused on strengthening human rights, gender equality, democratic participation and support for civil society.
