Rights and Dignity Project Strengthens Civil Society in El Salvador

October 12, 2022

Throughout months of unrest amid El Salvador’s ongoing state of emergency, Counterpart and our partners remain steadfast in its mission to protect the rights of all Salvadorans.

The organizational development methodology facilitates civil society organizations in El Salvador to strengthen internal capacities and processes to become more effective and more attractive as a strategic partner.

This video highlights the case of Azul Originario, a nonprofit organization, created, led and managed by youth who are actively promoting a culture of peace and violence prevention. The organization benefited from the methodology provided by the Rights and Dignity Project, implemented by Counterpart, Partners El Salvador and ConTextos, supported by USAID.
