Evidence snapshot for El Salvador
El Salvador has implemented several integrated service and digital programmes with mixed results. Ciudad Mujer's integrated women's services centres demonstrated strong outcomes, with participating women using 43% more public services and reporting 8 percentage points higher life satisfaction (93% vs 85%) in a randomised controlled trial. However, Chivo Wallet's digital financial-inclusion initiative achieved broad initial adoption—roughly 50% of households downloaded it—but saw 60% of early users make no further transactions after spending their initial $30 bonus, with only 5% of economy-wide sales transacting via Bitcoin. SIGES Alerta Temprana's dropout early-warning system reaches 96% of schools but dramatically undercounts at-risk students, recording pregnancy alerts at roughly 8 times below field-verified levels, though no outcome data on whether flagging improves dropout rates has been published.
