Micro-retail Development Project

The Micro-retail Development Project was a three-year initiative designed by TechnoServe, in partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and private sector partner CBC. The project was developed with the goal of improving the livelihoods of micro-retail store owners—both women and men—across El Salvador by enhancing business practices and facilitating access to finance, while also expanding consumer access to essential goods and services. By strengthening micro-retail businesses, the project aimed to contribute to local economic growth and help reduce migration pressures through sustainable income opportunities.
