El_Salvador

The entry of ACRA in the country dates back to 2008, thanks to a youth training project. In 2009, ACRA focused its presence in the South Ahuachapán Department - particularly the area of the micro-region, formed by the municipalities of Guaymango, Jujutla, Puxla San Pedro and San Francisco Menendez.

The main intervention areas are: strengthening of citizenship and democratic participation, coaching and implementation of micro-enterprises run by young people and women, organization and coaching of local youth networks, support and coaching of local institutions and government for the implementation of national youth policies and local management of environmental risk in emergency situations.
