El Salvador has made significant development progress in the past 30 years. The end of the civil war in 1992 marked the establishment of a liberal democracy and an open export-led development model, which led to a reduction in poverty and inequality. However, with economic growth averaging a modest 2.4% in the years before the COVID-19 pandemic, and productivity growth of 0.1% over the past decade, the post-war model has not generated the economic momentum or the jobs that the country needs. Decisive action is necessary to kickstart more robust, inclusive and sustainable development. Based on a multi-dimensional analysis of development in El Salvador, this report makes four priority recommendations: 1 build the conditions for a productive transformation and modernisation of the economy; 2 increase the quantity, quality and relevance of education; 3 manage water resources better to deliver water and sanitation for all in a sustainable manner; and 4 modernise the State so it can effectively deliver key public goods, from security to education to health, and successfully steer the next stage in the country's development.
