Mayors and judges were nearly 100% restored to former conflict zones. Other basic services, such as education and health care, were still lacking in some places. The Government cited resource scarcity as the reason for rather slow and incomplete action to restore civilian administration.1 After presidential elections in 1994, it can be said that most of the civil administration is restored. Nevertheless, some places still lacked water and electricity.
Civil Administration Reform – 1993
The returned mayors organized public town meetings to make plans for reconstruction in their communities and elect representatives to municipal reconstruction and development commissions.2
Civil Administration Reform – 1992
Efforts were made for the return of judges, mayors and governance to former conflict zones. The FMLN, with the support of some communities and NGOs, blocked the return of some judges and mayors. ONUSAL stepped in to facilitate open dialogue and help the process move forward.3 In May 1992, the El Salvadorian government announced a reconstruction plan aimed to upgrade the country’s public services, including drinking water supplies, electricity, health and education, at a cost of more than 1.4 billion dollars.4 Also, an agreement was reached on 16 September 1992 to coordinate the return of all judges by the end of 1992.5
