What the grant funds
To carry out a project to strengthen the operational readiness of Salvadoran institutions to combat transnational crime, including drug trafficking, human trafficking and smuggling, and illicit finance. The initiative will enhance border security, combat transnational criminal and terrorist organizations, and support institutional reforms to address critical challenges. By fostering law enforcement cooperation and implementing targeted responses to emerging threats, this project directly supports the America First initiative by prioritizing the safety and security of the United States. Strengthening Salvadoran institutions helps prevent criminals from exporting crime to the United States and destabilizing the region, thereby protecting American communities and interests. By reducing the impact of transnational crime on the United States, the project advances U.S. prosperity and security, ensuring that American interests remain at the forefront of our foreign engagement.
