English

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.

Strengthening the Legal Environment for Food Security and Nutrition of Vulnerable Groups as part of the COVID-19 Response and Recovery

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant threat to the right to food for populations, and especially for marginalized groups. In many countries, COVID-19 is intertwining with pre-existing factors affecting food security and nutrition, by limiting the access to affordable and nutritious food, including lack of economic opportunities, extreme weather conditions, ongoing conflicts and more.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant threat to the right to food for populations, and especially for marginalized groups. In many countries, COVID-19 is intertwining with pre-existing factors affecting food security and nutrition, by limiting the access to affordable and nutritious food, including lack of economic opportunities, extreme weather conditions, ongoing conflicts and more.
  • With a view to replacing a culture of violence in Honduras with one of legality, IDLO has outlined a program to reduce violent acts and homicides through better access to justice. Work, carried out in partnership with national institutions and civil society organizations, will focus specifically on vulnerable groups, including women, children, youth and people in detention.  The program is financed by the US Department of State.
