Intermediate Implementation Intermediate implementation

ONUSAL and the office of the Secretary-General began appealing to governments and international/regional organizations to put up funds to carry out land transfers, since the Government of El Salvador was to pay land-owners for lands to be transferred to peasant farmers but did not have nearly the amount of money required to make all the purchases.1

Japan pledged $4.5 million for emergency aid, including about $750,000 for refugee relief, and economic restructuring.2 Canada pledged up to $5 million for poverty alleviation, human rights promotion and democratization.3 The United States pledged to redirect some of its ongoing military aid to the Government of El Salvador toward peaceful programs. The US would put up $250 million over two years to support the peace process. In total, 18 countries and 12 NGOs promised to contribute $800 million for post-conflict reconstruction.4
