Honduras
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is committed to working with the government of Honduras and other donors to increase HIV prevention efforts and to improve AIDS treatment and care. USAID/Honduras is developing a new HIV/AIDS strategic plan for 2004–2008 because Honduras has been designated as an intensive focus country under the Agency’s enhanced AIDS response program. USAID contributions for HIV/AIDS mitigation activities will increase to about $5 million annually.
The new strategy will work to:
- Expand prevention activities to better target high-risk populations;
- Provide technical assistance to develop care and support systems;
- Establish coordination mechanisms at the national and regional levels within and between public and private sectors;
- Support decentralization of program planning and implementation through institutional capacity-building;
- Implement performance-based grants and provide technical assistance to nongovernmental organizations; and
- Improve the national HIV/AIDS surveillance system.
