Evidence snapshot for El Salvador
El Salvador has implemented several initiatives to expand digital and public services access. Ciudad Mujer's integrated women's services centres increased public service use by 43% and life satisfaction by 8 percentage points, while Conectadas has trained over 100,000 women in digital and financial literacy skills. However, the Chivo digital wallet initiative achieved only ~5% adoption for Bitcoin payments despite 50% household downloads, and adaptive technology for blind and low-vision students has been deployed to 30+ special-education schools but lacks published outcome data on usage or learning gains.
