Later, the assessment mission received data from the Government of El Salvador indicating that environmental damages total US$46.06 million, with total damages of US$60.07 million. This value is reflected in the data presented in Table 7, under the Cross-cutting category. TABLE 35.

III. CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES | 95 With regard to the distribution per department of the impact on the population’s livelihoods, the Department of La Paz is the most affected, as shown in the table. This corroborates the opinions of agencies such as CONAMYPE that have conducted surveys in this zone. In this department, some families have had to cease their tourism-related activities on various beaches, including 150 families in which the women work in the Costa del Sol as well as a good number of fishermen’s families.

To conduct an analysis of the impact on the livelihoods of the population, differentiated by sex, the distribution of activities as informed by the Population and Housing Census has been used as a reference and has been corroborated in the field by the mission. In the case of food production and retail commerce at household level, it is noted that these are mostly carried out by women. In the case of services, this activity is mostly carried out by men, also at household level. The raising of backyard animals has been reported by informants as being carried out by women. In the case of artisanal fishing, this work is carried out by men; and tourism-related activities, including the sale of food and small-scale commerce, are also carried out by women in the abovementioned affected areas whose use for this objective requires that the women pay a fee which, due to the disaster, has been exempted by the tourist park administration.
