Salvadoran Women in Citizen Security

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a project to advance participation of women and other underrepresented persons in Salvadoran security institutions. The purpose of this project is to assess and address systemic obstacles to women entering the National Police Academy (ANSP) and starting a career as a police officer; to encourage increased applications by underrepresented groups for appointment to the PNC through public communications campaigns; and to enable underrepresented groups to participate through targeted grants that address individual obstacles to public service careers in the security sector.
