This project aims to enhance the impact of remittances sent by Salvadoran migrant associations in the USA on development in migrant sending communities in El Salvador and enhance coordination between key actors in both countries (USA and El Salvador). To this end, leaders of El Salvadoran migrant associations in Washington DC and Los Angeles, California will be engaged in a series of trainings to enhance their capacity to design and manage remittance-linked development projects. Similar capacity building training sessions will also be offered to leaders of partner groups in migrant-sending communities receiving remittances in El Salvador. The capacity building curriculum used in this project will be based on a needs assessment survey of involved actors. This project has as a secondary aim, the development of a sustainable bi-national communication mechanism (such as a web site) to facilitate on-going communication and coordination among all involved parties on remittance-linked development initiatives.
