Honduras to boost resilient development of El Cajón and Lake Yojoa basins

Honduras will receive a 5.1 million dollars loan and 2.1 million dollars in non-reimbursable financing from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in order to promote a low-carbon and inclusive, resilient development in the El Cajón and Lake Yojoa basins.

The initiative will foster the adoption of climate-smart and agroecological technologies and practices by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and will also promote the incorporation of forest cover and soil restoration practices by key stakeholders in the intervention areas. The project will directly benefit 300 MSMEs, equivalent to 1,500 families, 25% of which led by women.
