Healthier, Better Educated People

USAID programs concentrate on improving key components of family health and basic education to address major unmet needs and emerging problems. The family health program focuses on reproductive health, child survival, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, and household food security.

USAID's education program contributes to a better-educated Honduran workforce through expanded access to the primary, middle, and secondary education levels, using alternative delivery systems (for example, radio-based instruction). The program emphasizes support to children, youth and young adults from low-income families in rural and marginal urban areas. USAID also assists the Government of Honduras’ efforts to develop quality educational testing and evaluation standards and to decentralize education management to the local level.

USAID activities contribute to a healthier, better educated workforce, which is essential for economic growth.

The programs are:

Increased and Improved Social Sector Investments and Transparency

Increased and Improved Educational Opportunities for Youth

Improved Integrated Management of Child and Reproductive Health

Spread of AIDS and Other Infectious Diseases Controlled
