Honduras
国产AVbuilding Fund in Action?
UN Secretary-General first declared Honduras eligible to access the 国产AVbuilding Fund in 2020. During the first two years of this eligibility period, the PBF was instrumental in promoting citizens’ participation and promoting the credibility of the National electoral institutions, which resulted in the democratically elected Government of President Xiomara Castro who took office in January 2022. The Fund has invested in various areas, including strengthening the rule of law, reducing violence, preventing and peacefully managing conflicts, enhancing effective and efficient public administration, and strengthening inclusive participation and civil society. Gender equality and women’s empowerment?in peacebuilding processes have neem key priorities, alongside addressing risks linked to forced displacement and supporting reintegration efforts to strengthen social cohesion. The Fund has invested over $19 million in ten projects. For the current eligibility period (2020-2025), the PBF Strategic Results Framework establishes three priority peacebuilding results:
- By 2025, Honduran society’s confidence in institutions and mechanisms for a comprehensive approach to conflict has increased, incorporating human rights, gender equality, and youth approaches.
- By 2025, the Honduran State and society will have increased levels of citizen participation in peacebuilding and the full exercise of human rights, especially for women, youth, and other underrepresented population groups.
- By 2025, Honduran citizens will have greater confidence in a more accessible, independent, inclusive, and effective justice system, contributing to the consolidation of the rule of law.
