The United Nations Program for Development
(PNUD) is the world network of the United Nations
for development, and as such, promotes change and
connects countries with knowledge, experience and the
necessary resources to help people have a better life.
PNUD began its operations in El Salvador in 1975.
With PNUD’s forty years of technical assistance, the
country has mobilized the international community’s
resources for national development, for example for
the reconstruction during the peace process and
emergency situations such as those provoked by
Hurricane Mitch in 1998; the 2001 earthquakes and
Tropical Storm Stan, to mention some cases.
At the same time it was executing its development
programs, the PNUD provided technical advice
for the political negotiations process of the Peace
Agreements. Its impartiality facilitated the dialogue
between the major parties of the conflict.
What PNUD contribution to the peace process:
• Facilitated political dialogue and negotiation
between the parties of the conflict.
• Supported processes led by the civil society and its
diverse democratic organizational expressions.
• Strengthened local capabilities to design and
implement public policies.
The signing parties of the Peace Agreements
(January 16, 1992) entrusted the United Nations to
the compliance of the commitments that resulted in
the finalization of a decade of civil war.
PNUD answers to the mandate of the General
Secretary of the United Nations to coordinate the
operational System of the United Nations in El
Salvador. PNUD provides administrative support
to the System of the Resident Coordinator in
El Salvador and participates in various inter-
management thematic groups; such as The Inter-
managerial Gender Group of the United Nations
(GIGNU); and the ONUSIDAGroup that deal with the
issues of gender equality and HIV/AIDS, considered
core issues for human development.
Currently, it is busy complying with international
commitments that the Government of El Salvador is
a part of; as well as the declarations and programs
of action approved at international summits and
conferences; and particularly, those assumed by the
United Nations at different summits.
