The outcome 2.4. of the Strategic Note is aligned with Outcome 2 and 4 of the UNSDCF, which seeks to generate greater opportunities for access to decent and productive work and sustainable livelihoods for Salvadoran people, particularly those in vulnerable situations. During the year 2022, the Country Office has made progress on the outcome, by enabling women, especially rural ones, to access decent, productive work and sustainable livelihoods, while promoting a political dialogue that recognizes the specificities of women within the economy. UN Women has indeed fostered opportunities for rural women and micro and small entrepreneurs to access financial products and services. Through an itinerant fair in the municipalities of the Trifinio region, organized with the Central Reserve Bank, rural women of such area could learn about the financial products offered by 24 Salvadoran Financial Institutions. Moreover, thanks to the accompaniment of UN Women, 45 women living in the department of Chalatenango formed 5 new community savings and credit groups. UN Women has also contributed to ensure credit opportunities for small businesswomen thanks to its continued collaboration with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) on the strengthening and follow-up of the CABEI-MELYT Guarantee Fund. Such instrument, established within the framework of the MELYT Program (2019-2021), aimed at fostering the post-COVID 19 economic reactivation by providing access to credit, non-reimbursable capital, and technical assistance to MSMEs. To be specific, during 2022, 650 micro and 357 small enterprises led by women were granted a loan, for a total of US$3 million, protecting 8,582 women's jobs from the impact of the pandemic. UN Women also enabled rural women to seize the opportunities for improved livelihoods offered by technological innovations: 153 rural producers, 81% of them women, received on a regular basis content on climate-smart agriculture and rural women's rights, thanks to the partnership of UN Women with the social enterprise Acceso and its virtual platform "Extensio". Such efforts in the territories have been coupled with initiatives at the institutional level, such as a debate on the urgency to integrate women into the digital economy (annex 7) and the promotion an inter-institutional agreement to develop projects that use technology as a tool to support women entrepreneurs in the rural areas of El Salvador (annex 8). At the political level, the recognition of the care economy and the importance of gender mainstreaming at the institutional level have been acknowledged as central for the achievement of better working conditions for women. This is witnesses by the important steps taken in a series of policy development processes that UN Women has accompanied throughout the past year, such as the finalization of a National Policy on Co-responsibility of Care (annex 1), currently in the approval stage under the Presidency of the Republic; the review and presentation of the proposed National Policy for Rural, Indigenous and Peasant Women (PMRIC, annex 2) to the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, and the launching of the Institutional Policy for Gender Equality of the Tri-national Commission of the Trifinio Plan (annex 3).Disclaimer and notes
