Donor Support – 1994

In March 1994, the Government reported a budget shortfall of $376 million for expenses arising from the Peace Accords. Grants and loans given or committed by international donors amounted to approximately $140 million.¹ The land-transfer program was partially financed by the United States Agency for International Development, but still lacked $32 million to be completed. Other reintegration programs lacked a sum total of approximately $50 million.²

When MINUSAL took over for ONUSAL, it teamed up with UNDP to prepare technical assistance programs estimated to cost $9.8 million. As of September 1995, donors had pledged $4.23 million to support the programs.³
