APSIES
The Salvadoran Association for Inter-community Health and Social Services (APSIES), is a grassroots organization working for comprehensive quality healthcare, respect for community needs and environmental protection. Working mainly in eastern El Salvador, APSIES focuses on health, gender equality and environmental risk management, as well as an approach to production development which allows families to improve their income by establishing alliances with different organized sectors and institutions present in the region. One of those alliances is the National Health Forum (FNS), which monitors public health policies guaranteeing universal access to health services. The FNS is present in 13 of the 14 provinces across the country, including Usulutan and San Miguel where APSIES is responsible for developing its work.
CoDev’s programming with APSIES is focused on empowering the population around their right to health through the consolidating the National Health Forum in the departments of Usulután and San Miguel, as well as empowering women to exercise their right to citizen participation in decision making.
