CHILE: Electoral Balance of Rural Communes in the Municipal and Regional Government Elections 2024

This report presents a brief electoral balance of the 2024 elections in rural areas, considering only the results for the offices of mayors and GOREs. Unlike other Rimisp reports, on this occasion, a comparative analysis with previous processes is not carried out due to the fact that the recent elections present different characteristics (mandatory voting and a decrease in the percentage of the majority required to elect GOREs). The territorial focus of the study is on the commune as the unit of analysis, using the categorisation defined by the National Rural Development Policy (PNDR), namely: urban (82), rural (185) and mixed (78).

El Salvador: Ecosystem restoration and conflict transformation

The ecosystem restoration agenda in El Salvador began to gain prominence in the last decade as a response to the persistent historical dynamics of environmental degradation and the growing impact of climate change. These issues have had negative consequences on the livelihoods and food security of the population.

The lessons learned in San Miguelito are valuable for government institutions, donors and other stakeholders seeking to advance restoration goals and promote inclusive approaches to territorial governance.
