Luxembourg's development cooperation - Annual report 2017

Given the extraordinary economic and social progress made by El Salvador since the 1990s, since 2015 Luxembourg’s development cooperation has chosen to implement a diversification partnership with El Salvador. As part of this diversification, during Minister Romain Schneider’s visit in 2017, Luxembourg signed a new general cooperation agreement that promotes cooperation with different actors and different sectors in order to diversify relations between the two countries.

Thus El Salvador no longer has an ICP but Luxembourg continues to contribute to governmental social protection programmes by supporting the social plan in the form of a contribution to the joint programme-based support fund, a financial contribution to the second fund to support El Salvadorean civil society initiatives and a contribution to the El Salvador fund for South-South cooperation.
