Country Situation Political Situation: In June, El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele, took office and launched the Central Government´s “Territorial Control Plan”, to improve the country´s security situation and reduce forced migration by regaining control over territories with higher gang incidence and control. The plan has three main pillars: 1) greater control of prisons, 2) interrupt the financing of organized crime and 3) the strengthening of security forces1. Focused actions in 122 of the 262 municipalities of El Salvador will be implemented to recover territories controlled by the gangs.3 A strong communications campaign was implemented as part of the GoES security plan highlighting consequences of gang participation (prison or death). This, accompanied by repressive measures from law enforcement, has caused instability and uncertainty in communities. The strategy shifts from the Secure El Salvador Plan (Plan El Salvador Seguro) to the new Territorial Control Plan risks affecting the sustainability of previously implemented interventions by USAID/CVPP, particularly those that don´t respond to or align with the new Plan´s objectives. To guarantee continuity, USAID/CVPP has held several meetings with GoES officials to build strong relationships with newly appointed government officials, present the project´s experience, and bring international experts to support the new GoES administration to introduce a comprehensive violence prevention model. Migration: Following the United States funding freeze for the Northern Triangle in April, the United States and El Salvador signed an immigration agreement “to combat organized crime and reduce illegal trafficking and human trafficking, as well as forced migration"4 in September. This agreement was also signed with neighboring countries, Honduras and Guatemala, which together represent the largest migrant population to the US and expand their ability to receive asylum seekers. Security Situation: As of September 2019, 2,004 homicides have been reported, 509 less than last year (2,573 homicides).5 According to GoES authorities, this number is expected to continue to decrease with the new Territorial Control Plan in place. In the month of September 2019, the National Civil Police reported 134 homicides, an average daily rate of 4.8 homicides.6 This represents a 27% reduction from the same period in 2018 (196 homicides). 1 https://forbescentroamerica.com/2019/07/19/en-que-consiste-el-plan-de-seguridad-de-nayib-bukele/ 2 San Salvador, Mejicanos,
