HMG has not received any request for assistance from the Government of El Salvador since the declaration of a state of emergency on 27 March. The UK has a good relationship with El Salvador. Priority areas for UK programming and assistance in El Salvador include: climate change and biodiversity; tackling and recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic; governance and transparency; media freedom; sexual and reproductive health and rights; and human rights, with an emphasis on women's rights and empowerment and prisoners' rights and reintegration. Our Embassy in San Salvador will continue to monitor and report on the current state of emergency and respond appropriately to any request for technical or other assistance.
