In 2021, IDLO began working with the judiciary of Honduras to improve citizens’ access to public information and quality communication, and to make the justice system more accessible, affordable, cost-effective, transparent and efficient. Through the project ‘Enhancing Judicial Transparency and Promoting Public Trust’ IDLO supports the country’s judiciary in increasing transparency and public engagement in the functioning of the courts as well as strengthening the justice system’s accountability.

IDLO also partners with the Institute for Access to Public Information and the Ministry of Transparency to strengthen the capacities of anti-corruption institutions and mechanisms to promote transparency, accountability and integrity based on international and regional good practice. As part of this, IDLO assessed legal and policy frameworks on anti-corruption in Honduras, identified capacity development needs and put together joint plans to address these with partner institutions.
