The Legislative Assembly approved today the allocation of $1,750,978.95 to the Directorate of Integration, with the goal of strengthening social welfare programs aimed at the country’s most vulnerable sectors.
The funds will finance scholarships, care for senior citizens, and access to health services, as well as food and transportation for beneficiaries. This allocation comes from the surplus in social security contributions, which between january and July 2025 exceeded $31 million, $4.3 million more than anticipated.
The measure is part of the sixth phase of the Plan Control Territorial (PCT) and seeks to combat poverty and reduce violence, promoting social inclusion and labor reintegration in Salvadoran communities.
The reform was supported by 54 votes from legislators in the 74th plenary session and consolidates the government’s commitment to guaranteeing direct support to the neediest citizens.
