AESA is pleased to share the first newsletter on the progress of the EUROSAN West project carried on in Honduras, hoping that it may represent an useful platform to connect with the project's actors.
The overall objective of the EUROSAN West project is the following:
Improve the food and nutrition security of at least 15,000 rural families through:
1. The creation of sustainable agricultural systems that allow increasing food production
2. Support for education and nutrition
3. The strengthening of national and local institutions in the regions with the highest poverty rates
The mancomunidades selected by the Government of the Republic and the European Union to receive subsidies, play a vital role in the promotion of food and nutrition security, for which they have the support of EUROSAN West.
Avances del proyecto:
• Fueron seleccionadas las familias beneficiarias (17 400 familias)
• Desarrollo de capacitaciones sobre el Programa de Alimentación Escolar (PAE)
• Inicio de las obras de mejoramiento de la infraestructura en centros educativos (cocina, bodega y comedor)
• Capacitaciones a mancomunidades sobre el Sistema de Administración Municipal Integrado (SAMI)
• Ya se han construido 20 cosechas de agua y otras se encuentran en proceso de licitación
Success in this project would contribute to achieving the objectives that favorably impact the agrifood system, health and nutrition of 15,000 households in 10 mancomunidades of Santa Bárbara, Copán, Ocotepeque and Lempira, departments that are part of the Dry Corridor of the country.
