Honduras: Economic Governance of Water and Sanitation

What We Do » Democratic Economic Governance » Honduras » Economic Governance of Water and Sanitation
 
Honduras has made considerable progress over recent decades in the fields of water and sanitation, but significant shortcomings still exist, particularly in rural zones and marginalized urban areas. The objective of this Joint Programme is to support the modernization of the sector in order to help reduce poverty.

The programme supports the design, adaptation and implementation of sector policies with a focus on social inclusion, and the strengthening of mechanisms for investing in infrastructure in smaller towns and urban-marginal and rural areas.

The interventions focus on regions defined specifically as poverty-stricken, encourage participation from the citizens and take advantage of current initiatives and successful schemes, with a view to creating synergies, mobilizing additional resources and incorporating new parties in developing the sector.
