Honduras


The Challenge

USAID's program in Honduras aims to increase economic growth by taking advantage of the benefits of regional and international trade in order to reduce poverty. Honduras faces a series of complex challenges including a lack of capacity to implement the Central America and Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR); a weak judicial system and widespread corruption; and the inability to deliver social services to all its citizens. To this end, USAID is working to support civil legal reform and strengthen civil society to combat corruption and promote human rights. Programs also aim to help the Government of Honduras (GOH) decentralize and build capacity to implement CAFTA-DR efficiently, assist small farmers and entrepreneurs grow and diversify their production, combat environmental degradation and unsustainable use of natural resources, improve the quality of basic education, help the GOH to better deliver health services, and increase food security to vulnerable communities.
