The Peace Agreement signed between the Government and FMLN guerrillas in El Salvador marks the end of a decade of civil war. As both sides of the conflict and the international donor community begin to add up the costs of reconstruction, the human, social, and psychological costs are carried mainly by the poor of El Salvador. Social organisations and NGOs who became strategists of survival today face the challenge of transforming their accumulated experience into alternative proposals for the building of a more just society and a prosperous nation.
