Micro-retail Development Project

The Micro-retail Development Project is a three-year initiative funded by USAID and private sector partner CBC, aimed at improving the livelihoods of micro-retail store owners—both women and men—across El Salvador. By enhancing business practices, the project seeks to increase access to essential goods and services within local communities. Through fostering stronger and more resilient micro-retail businesses, this initiative supports local economic growth and helps reduce migration pressures by creating sustainable economic opportunities.
