International IDEA implemented the State of Democracy assessment in El Salvador as a pilot study in 2002. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of democracy in a country where the legacy of state violence, repression and corruption has proved hard to cast aside. Despite the establishment of a democratic system, the country had fallen behind on its democratic path by the time of the study, and important measures to solve the widespread poverty problem were still lacking. Nearly half of the country's population lived below the poverty line in 1998.
