El Salvador Compact - Production and Business Services
Summary:
MCC’s $449.6 million El Salvador Compact (2007-2012) funded the $67 million Productive Development Project which included the $55 million Production and Businesses Services (PBS) Activity. The activity, which was implemented in two phases, along with the Investment Support and Financial Services Activities, aimed to increase production and employment in the Northern Zone. The activity was based on the theory that technical and material assistance to farmers and small-scale producers would help them transition to higher-profit activities, thereby generating investment, expanding markets, and creating new jobs.
