Local Development Program:
Integrating Principles of Citizen’s Participation, Leadership Development and Women’s Empowerment

Overview

SHARE accompanies the most marginalized and vulnerable of El Salvador by supporting community development projects in collaboration with partner organizations in El Salvador. These initiatives include economic management, technical assistance and strategic organization.

SHARE’s unique role is to work within a geographical “target area” in a holistic and coordinated way, strengthening and supporting a variety of community and civil organizations that are vehicles for greater community participation.

As in its other programs, SHARE’s Local Development follows three integrating principles of women’s empowerment, citizen participation and leadership development. In 2006 the Local Development Program supported organization and leadership trainings, women’s literacy campaigns, local election voter education, economic initiative analysis and women’s empowerment trainings.
