In El Salvador is de relatie tussen het maatschappelijk middenveld en de staat verbrokkeld. De vertrouwensbreuk tussen deze twee belangrijke actoren heeft een schadelijk effect op de democratische en burgerlijke ruimte van het land. En daarmee ook voor de gemeenschappen die ervan afhankelijk zijn.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NIMD El Salvador werkt aan het herstel van vertrouwen tussen burgers en lokale vertegenwoordigers, met als doel om deze winst op de langere termijn uit te breiden naar het nationale niveau. Hun werk richtte zich op het versterken van de capaciteit van zowel het maatschappelijk middenveld als ambtenaren in openbare instellingen; het cre\u00ebren van veilige ruimtes voor dialoog; en het laten zien dat kunst, cultuur en sport krachtige middelen zijn om verschillende politieke actoren samen te brengen rond gezamenlijke doelen voor hun gemeenschappen.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholen op maat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

De capaciteit van ambtenaren van zowel maatschappelijke organisaties als overheidsinstellingen versterken NIMD El Salvador<\/a>\u00a0NIMD Democracy Schools ge\u00efmplementeerd die zijn toegesneden op de behoeften van lokale leiders en jongeren in stedelijke en plattelandsgebieden. Gemeenschappen die vaak het gevoel hebben dat overheidsinstellingen op een afstandelijke en niet-inclusieve manier handelen. NIMD El Salvador streeft ernaar om de mogelijkheden voor politieke educatie te decentraliseren en deelnemers uit het hele land aan te trekken, ook uit de afgelegen plattelandsgebieden.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reisafstanden en vervoersproblemen maken het echter moeilijk voor jongeren om zich te verbinden aan langdurige programma's waarbij ze wekelijks uit hun gemeenschap moeten reizen. Als reactie hierop ontwikkelden we een intensieve school voor democratie van een week, die zorgde voor volledige deelname en een veilige ruimte voor verbinding tussen jongeren cre\u00eberde, waar deelnemers vrijelijk hun meningen en ervaringen deelden zonder angst voor vergelding. Het team verdiepte de integratie van de alumnigroepen door middel van zowel formele trainingsactiviteiten (zoals lezingen of workshops) als informele sociale interacties om naast vaardigheden ook relaties op te bouwen.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dialoog bevorderen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Door middel van workshops over bestuur, dialoog en gender - gericht op ambtenaren - promoot het team hulpmiddelen voor de dialoog met burgers en benadrukt het het belang van hun actieve deelname aan de besluitvorming. Het doel: dat ambtenaren burgerparticipatie in hun processen niet als een belemmering zien, maar als een essentieel onderdeel van hun werk.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Op het gebied van dialoog organiseert en faciliteert NIMD El Salvador verschillende soorten dialoogsessies met concrete en realistische doelstellingen. Zo ontwikkelde het team in 2025 in het kader van het Proinclusiva-project, gefinancierd door de Europese Unie, participatieve processen voor het maken van sociale kaarten. Het proces van sociale kaarten verkent waar en hoe mensen wonen en de beschikbare sociale infrastructuur in elk gebied, na overleg met lokale gemeenschappen. Deze kaarten werden gepresenteerd aan lokale overheden, waardoor gemeenschappen een directe stem kregen in de lokale besluitvorming.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Vergaderen in informele ruimtes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Om de relatie tussen de overheid en de burgerbevolking te verbeteren, organiseert NIMD El Salvador regelmatig ontmoetingen tussen de twee groepen. En niet alleen in formele ruimtes. Eerder via informele ruimtes in culturele, artistieke en sportieve activiteiten die een grotere sociale cohesie bevorderen. In 2025 organiseerde NIMD El Salvador kunstfestivals in vijf districten, waarbij theater- en muziekvoorstellingen werden gecombineerd met interactieve workshops over onder andere - schilderen, tekenen en weven, met prioriteit voor de bevordering van de rechten van vrouwen, meisjes en jongeren.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samen onderstrepen deze acties het belang van het bevorderen van duurzame co\u00f6rdinatie tussen het maatschappelijk middenveld en lokale overheden. Niet alleen op institutioneel niveau, maar ook in de gemeenschappen zelf. Wanneer besluitvormingsruimten goed ge\u00efntegreerd zijn met ruimten voor burgerbetrokkenheid, ontstaat een gedeelde verantwoordelijkheid die meer inclusief is en een grotere impact heeft op het leven van mensen, in het bijzonder dat van vrouwen en jongeren.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
