Towards social justice in El Salvador, driven by inclusive and sustainable family entrepreneurship.

Women and Young producers and their MBOs are empowered actors, who lead resilient and sustainable entrepreneurship towards greater social justice. In El Salvador, the general outcome of the 5-year program refers to “Women and young producers and their MBOs CLAC and CONFRAS are empowered actors who lead a resilient and sustainable entrepreneurship oriented towards greater social justice”. To achieve this outcome, the program will focus on: • improved integration of women and youth in the MBO as result of the mainstreaming of gender and generational approach. • Increased competencies, especially of women and youth, to take integrated actions related to gender, climate change and livelihoods of the members • Increased services for business development and market access in function of the women and young producers • Structured knowledge management and learning to incorporate good practices and sustainability of the inclusion and climate resilience processes in the MBO and Trias. Trias will consolidate the work with 2 Member based organisations in strengthening their organisational development emphasising more on the integration of inclusion, climate change and access to markets. We will approach the leadership of the third level organisations for the internal strengthening processes, and piloting inclusive entrepreneurship with women and youth producers / entrepreneurs from selected first level member organisations. Similar, with CLAC we will scale up to 5 countries interested in replicating the enhanced internal institutional process of CLAC and extend at the continental level through the corporate structure. Adequate knowledge management and peer learning will be key to promote systemic change towards a more inclusive society as the long-term goal. Totally 358.267 rural producers are involved, 4.475 persons will be targeted directly (78% women, 17% young adults under 30 years). Trias will cooperate with stakeholders like Via Don Bosco, ACTEC, FOS, We Effect, Universidad Gerardo Barrios and relevant actors in the local ecosystem.
