Reduction of inequalities is a significant objective. Approximately 10% of the project beneficiaries (rights holders) will be poor, low-income or vulnerable people. Advocacy efforts will be made to increase training opportunities for women and low-income or vulnerable populations, mainly through: (i) baseline survey at the beginning of the intervention with specific socioeconomic indicators, and implementation of a permanent monitoring and evaluation system; (ii) digital levelling program; (iii) 10% of the training scholarships will be focused on the vulnerable population; and (iv) alliances with universities and technical centres outside the capital (public and private) through which it will be possible to reach these population groups since they are already part of their educational community. The digital levelling program and scholarships are included in the budget. The Results Matrix includes the following indicator: \"Percentage of population living in poverty and vulnerability of the total number of certified participants (%)\", where the target is 10%. This will be a first commitment of the executing agency to benefit the population living in poverty, with the expectation that after the training these people achieve employability, generate income and improve their personal and family conditions."}, {"bbox": [97, 668, 211, 694], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Democracy"}, {"bbox": [97, 694, 1134, 747], "category": "Text", "text": "The strengthening of democratic institutions, participation and the division of powers remain a crosscutting objective of all EU interventions in El Salvador."}, {"bbox": [97, 747, 1135, 1038], "category": "Text", "text": "During the last five years, increasing concerns have been expressed about democracy in El Salvador: IDEA reported concerning developments on civil liberties, social rights, equality, personal integrity, and security, while the score of Freedom House's Index has decreased from 70/100 in 2018 to 63/100 in 2021, with El Salvador moving from \"Free\" to \"Partly Free\".
