PROJECT OVERVIEW

Task Order number AID-596-TO-16-00006 Title USAID Regional Trilateral Cooperation (RTC)

Activity description: Based in San Salvador, the Regional Trilateral Cooperation (RTC) activity promotes South-South cooperation among Central American policy-makers and both private and civil society leaders engaged in activities of priority to USAID/Central America & Mexico (CAM), bilateral and regional missions in Central America, and counterparts working in comparable areas in other LAC countries. RTC achieves this through designing and facilitating Tri-Lateral Activities (TLAs) for Central American specialists to engage with other country counterparts in the LAC region.

Mission/Bureau Contracting Task Order:

USAID/El Salvador – Central America Mission

Period of Performance: August 1, 2016 – July 31, 2019 possible Option Year

BACKGROUND The USAID Regional Trilateral Cooperation project provides support to build trilateral cooperation between the United States Government (USG), represented by USAID, provider countries (Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, and Uruguay -- the South-South Cooperation (SSC) countries in Latin America), and receiving countries (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, and the Dominican Republic). The overall aim of the project is to provide technical and logistical assistance to USAID regional and bilateral Missions and the projects they support, through sharing and transferring technical expertise, technology, knowledge, and information on model systems, processes and policies, while building and strengthening meaningful, sustainable intra-regional relationships. This tri-lateral cooperative process is a critical step to moving these countries towards self-reliance while bringing to fruition critical USG regional objectives.

The U.S. Strategy for Engagement in Central America (“the CEN Strategy”) targets two high priority objectives: enhancing citizen security and development of prosperity in each of the four Central American countries, combined with regional integration. USAID’s Central America and Mexico Regional Development Cooperation Strategy (RDCS) 2015-2019 referenced capacity building needs in each

6

sector, including an emphasis on capacity building between Mexico and Central America. RTC has proactively supported this over the last two years, developing numerous Trilateral Activities (TLAs) that are all well integrated into the USAID Mission’s portfolio and contribute to the objectives of USAID’s regional and bilateral strategies in the LAC region. The accepted definitions guiding RTC programming include:

• Trilateral Cooperation: Involves partnerships between two or more developing countries – in this case from Latin America -- supported by a developed country (or countries) or multilateral organization(s) to implement development cooperation programs and interventions.

• South-South Cooperation (SSC): Involves establishment of meaningful and sustainable relationships between Latin American governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academics, the private sector and other relevant stakeholders in order to enable the long-term exchange of resources, technology, and knowledge between developing countries, also known as countries of the Global South. SSC can take place on a bilateral, regional, sub-regional or inter-regional basis.

The project strengthens USAID program results by leveraging technical contributions from SSC provider countries in Latin America to promote increased and more systemic trilateral cooperation so all actors benefit from the relationships. The project focuses on facilitating government-to-government assistance where governmental sources can contribute technical assistance and useful development models. Trilateral Activities (TLA) include the following types of exchanges: observational or study tours, facilitated workshops, conferences, and delegations of experts. • Observational or study tours: Partner participants visit a donor country to study a specific sector,

program or model, or experts are brought from other countries to help on a specific topic related to a bilateral or regional USAID project.

• Facilitated Workshops: Workshops address a specific sector, program or theme. When included in an observational study tour, workshops provide in-depth knowledge and training on a specific issue, and to address identified knowledge and/or skills gaps.

• Conferences: RTC develops a conference theme, mobilizes experts, and provides logistical support to achieve concept note objectives and manage the conference.

• Delegations of Experts: RTC sends technical experts to Northern Triangle countries to provide training, attend conferences or exchange ideas and expertise with receiving country counterparts.

All RTC activities take into consideration aspects of equity and gender inclusion. All TLAs are also conducted in accordance with ADS 253.3.5 Third-Country Participant Training Requirements and the Participant Training Practitioner’s Manual. RTC staff inputs data collected into USAID’s Trainet System. Our project team includes four employees posted in San Salvador. FUSADES is the sub-contractor that provides technical support in:

a) Providing on-going monitoring and evaluation of TLAs. b) Reporting on RTC events and other ad hoc and special analyses; c) Providing technical research related to planned TLAs, when requested from USAID.

USAID has utilized the project in a wide range of technical areas to include the following:

A. Good Governance/ Justice Sector Strengthening/ Civil Service Reform II October 1-5, 2018

USAID works in partnership with the Government of El Salvador (GOES) and civil society organizations to advance the effective implementation of regulations and initiatives that increase transparency and accountability in government. A professional civil service is critical to allow a more transparent and efficient administration of public resources. For this reason, a reform of the civil service that includes systems of recruitment and evaluation based on merit, specialized and continuous learning platforms for public servants, and adequate systems of compensation and classification of positions, are essential to modernize the civil service, thus reducing patronage and corruption. The Technical and Planning Secretariat of the GOES has begun applying key aspects of the reform by launching initiatives such as electronic public employee recruitment systems and the creation of the National School of Public Employees (ENAFOP). USAID and the GOES have identified the need to learn from other countries’ successful experiences in the professionalization of public employees as a means to inform future decisions in this field. This Trilateral Activity was the second part of a three-part Trilateral Effort that enabled a Chilean Civil Service expert to share her expertise and advise the Salvadorians on their existing model. In addition, the Trilateral Activity formally raised awareness beyond the government, informing citizens of El Salvador of the importance of civil service reform while creating a space for learning public service models based on merit from other nations in the region, including the implementation challenges, lessons learned and sustainability approaches from which the authorities of the region GOES and USAID could be used as a reference for future interventions in support of the professionalization of the public service. The Chilean Human Resources Management and Personnel Development expert, Marcela Montero, worked in close partnership with her counterpart, the Salvadorian Deputy Director of the Technical Secretariat of Planning (SETEPLAN), part of the GOES executive branch, to provide her analysis of the GOES Performance Management National Strategy Document. The Salvadorian/Chilean partnership then designed a training workshop based on learnings from the Chilean model for the Salvadorian government’s executive branch human resources institutions. Ms. Montero subsequently led a workshop in conjunction with all Directors of Talent Management from the

Salvadorian government, training them on the new Performance Management National Strategy and incorporating their comments and suggestions for further tailoring to the Salvadorian model. Lastly, she and a representative from SETEPLAN participated in a televised interview as part of a Public Forum on the importance of evaluating work performance for the professionalization of the Salvadorian public service. This is also an approach to empower citizens to better hold their government accountable for transparency. After Ms. Montero’s departure, the Chilean Directorate of Professionalization of the

Public Function continues to work in partnership and close collaboration with her counterparts at SETEPLAN in order to finalize the Salvadorian Performance Management National Strategy reform document.

B. Fiscal Policy Reform: Result Oriented Budget November 12-17, 2018

Public Financial Management (PFM) is one of the most important functions of government and a pillar of efficient, transparent, and accountable service delivery and good governance. Efficient domestic revenue mobilization (DRM), fair, equitable and predictable tax policy and administration, and sound expenditure management must be in place to promote fiscal discipline, policy-based resource allocation, and operational effectiveness. USAID is aiding the Salvadorian Ministry of Finance (MOF) to implement a Result Oriented Budget, working with the Ministry of Education (MINED), Ministry of Health (MINSAL), Ministry of Environment (MARN) and Court of Accounts (CoA). The goal is to make public expenditure more efficient and transparent by strengthening GOES ministries and CoA in formulation, execution and monitoring/evaluation of Result Oriented Budgets.

In coordination with the USAID Domestic Resource Mobilization Project and the Chilean General Budget Directorate (DIPRES), RTC organized a Trilateral Activity for a formal training that took place in Chile called Results Oriented Budget Experiences Training (CROBET). Four Salvadorian authorities, one from each target ministry, and an audit specialist of the CoA, went to Chile to meet their equivalents and to take part in the capacity exchange. Throughout the training the Salvadorian officials learned from the Chilean experience about the use of methodologies and

tools for budget formulation, execution, monitoring and budgetary evaluation that follow the best international practices in monitoring and evaluation of public programs. The established cohort agreed to continue collaborating in order for the GOES to achieve the following:

• Incorporate the culture of evaluation in the institutional budget process

• Improve budgetary discipline in institutions

• Computerize the budgetary process at the level that facilitates the execution and control of institutional programs and projects

Good Governance (Citizen Security Sector) /Justice Sector Strengthening/Ethics Week November 26-30, 2018

The US government has supported the Salvadorian Government Ethics Tribunal (TEG) in various activities aimed at strengthening its leading role in Public Ethics. One of the main activities carried out has been the establishment of the Institutional Integrity Model (MII) which the TEG adopted towards the establishment of values and integrity practices in the organization. The MII is a self-evaluation that involves reviewing regulations, organizational culture, and processes in different model areas, to include transparency, ethics, accountability, citizen participation, anti-corruption and a lack of public efficiency.

Since its creation, the TEG hosts an annual Ethics Week, which includes events throughout all regions of El Salvador with an average attendance of 1,500 participants from most central and municipal government institutions. This year’s theme was “Open Government,” based on the Chilean model. It was chosen in order to highlight the importance of principles meant to promote transparency, increase citizen involvement in the debate and decision of public affairs, fight corruption and take advantage of new technologies – all aimed at strengthening democratic governance as well as the quality of public services throughout the judicial, legislative and executive branches. RTC assisted the TEG in developing a public integrity and open government policy for its own organization. Five Chilean Open Government experts partnered with the Salvadorians to create a plan

to consolidate its role as a governing body for public ethics. During the Ethics Week, 50% of the relevant committees were trained and sensitized to the newly developed plan based on the capacity exchange that came from this South-South Cooperative partnership. A major achievement resulting from this Trilateral Activity was the start of discussions on the creation of a formal South-South Cooperation partnership between the nations of Chile and El Salvador, specifically regarding the concept of Civil Service Reform, which speak to open government and transparency.

C. Justice Sector Strengthening/Ethics Tribunal

December 17-18, 2018

With continued support to the Salvadorian Government Ethics Tribunal (TEG), RTC implemented a subsequent Trilateral Activity by once more bringing two Open Government experts from Chile’s National Counsel of Transparency to provide technical assistance to Salvadorian magistrates and officials, chiefs and technicians of the TEG. In this two-day South-South Cooperation discourse the following discussions occurred:

• Follow-up capacity building dialogue regarding the 5 main challenges identified during the above Ethics Weeks. TLA transmitting international best practices of open government to be further taught to public servants through the country

• Chilean support to the TEG in the implementation of two critical national strategies: 1) generation of draft Institutional Integrity Improvement Plan and the 2) Institutional Policy for Integrity and Open Government. The Institutional Policy provides guidance to the TEG, leveraging international standards of transparency, citizen involvement, corruption prevention, ethics and public efficiency.

GENDER CONSIDERATIONS A total of 979 people was trained under RTC’s activities in Quarter 1 of FY 2019, including 543 women and 436 men. RTC funded 12 people from this total, of which 3 were women and 9 were men. LEARNING CONSIDERATIONS According to the midterm evaluation of RTC, which was conducted by Mendez England & Associates, the majority of TLA beneficiaries have shared the knowledge they acquired during the TLAs with others, both within their organization (86%) and outside their organization (60%), implemented the new knowledge in their job (78%), or promoted changes within their organization (56%). Notably, almost no beneficiaries indicated that they have not nor will not apply the new knowledge in any way, while among those who have not applied the new knowledge yet, they either plan to apply it or said there is a possibility that they will apply it. Finally, 56% and 38% of beneficiaries, respectively, said that they have either solicited help from, or provided help to, people they met during the TLAs. The participants said they expected to apply knowledge when they returned to their work, especially related to sharing information about what was learned with percentages of participants between 93.48 and 100. Other aspects of application highlighted by the participants is the replication of knowledge acquired percentages between 83.33 and 98.08, as well as promoting changes in their workplace with percentages of participants between 86.05 and 94.55.

The table below demonstrates results from the RTC midterm evaluation. The results indicate that TLAs were “well-planned,” “imparted useful knowledge,” and were generally beneficial for participants.
