Here's my job description according to the San Salvador U.S. Embassy webpage:
Community Organization and Economic Development:
The project goals are to promote a more empowered, educated and active
citizenry, to strengthen local organizations in management skills, and
to improve economic opportunities for youth, women and individual
entrepreneurs through business skills development. These goals encourage
a more participatory and popular consultative development process. The
focused on gender equality, attention to the poorest municipalities and
the strengthening of economic opportunities for historically relegated
groups, are some of the government initiatives that this project
addresses. Civil society organizations are the beneficiaries of
technical assistance to facilitate the community development process and
to build up skills and abilities for them to take advantage of economic
opportunities.
