Ecological agriculture contributing to food security The purpose of this project, run by CAFOD’s partner CEHPRODEC, is to contribute to increased food security while supporting efforts for recovery of damages for 108 households from two municipalities affected by open-sky mining industries in Honduras.
The project has two strands:
(1)	enabling the implementation of ecological agriculture by families in communities affected by open sky mining, so that in three years the they are producing 30% of their own food. A ’peasant farm’ approach, where specific farms serve as a reference for surrounding farmers, will be applied. The project will: 
•	identify and design production systems for 12 ecological farms;
•	develop an awareness campaign about ecological agriculture; 
•	deliver 6 irrigation systems; 
•	run workshops on ecological farm design, organic fertiliser production, production costs, nutrition and food preparation;
•	facilitate monitoring and exchange visits.

(2)	addressing the issues raised by the violation of  human rights by foreign companies in the extractives industry, through:

•	strategy planning and dissemination workshops; 
•	publicity for testimonies of affected people; 
•	preparation of the case files of affected people from Siria Valley for presentation to the Honduras government;
•	technical advice and accompaniment for affected people in the Supreme Court;.
•	civil society campaigning against the depletion of natural resources.
Quality of life for low-income people living with HIV in the Metropolitan area of the Sula Valley Puerta Abierta was born in 1997 in the San José parish of San Pedro Sula, as a programme of the Association of Pauline Fathers in Honduras, oriented towards the care of vulnerable adults of limited resources  who live with HIV and advanced HIV infection and their families in the area, in order to contribute in some way to restore the lost dignity of our brothers and sisters infected with HIV. As Puerta Abierta consolidated and defined its services, the demand for care grew, as did the medical needs and human support. Then the strategies of integral care of this technical team and volunteers began to be defined, requesting financial support from external cooperation to strengthen the care provided and the integrated and human quality support that accompanies users who day by day request spiritual, medical, family and social help.
CAFOD has been accompanying and strengthening the organisational and promotional work for adults with HIV and advanced HIV and affected family members that the Open Door Programme attends to in the metropolitan area of the Sula Valley in Honduras. CAFOD has been supporting since 2003 to date, contributing to the quality of life of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and their families, in the comprehensive response to HIV and advanced HIV, in the reduction of morbidity and in the processes of education, prevention and information about HIV in children in the Metropolitan Area of the Sula Valley.
Puerta Abierta has also been working on gender identity as a cross-cutting issue.
The goal is to contribute to the quality of life of people with HIV (priority groups included on the CAFOD Central America programme) by changing the self-esteem and self-worth of women Programme users and their relationships in family and community (approx. 55% of users are women) through home accompaniment, training on human rights, community educational prevention and awareness raising in media (radio and social networks - e.g. FB and whatsapp).
Agroecological farming practices contributing to food security and greater incomes for small farmers Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the region.  Poverty exceeds 70% in households in rural areas and 40% of rural households live in extreme poverty.   Another problem in Honduras is the impact that natural disasters.  Every single year flooding or drought has extensive negative impacts on rural families’ livelihoods. In the years 2015 and 2016 Honduras has seen a food crisis that was considered unprecedented in the history of the country. Current rural policies are aimed at strengthening mono-cropping and agribusiness, not small farmers.  

CEHPRODEC decided to work with the same families from previous years, especially with social organizations like the  Environmental Committee of the Siria Valley (CAVS) and the National Association for the Promotion of Ecological Agriculture (ANAFAE).

This project is a continuation of previous projects and and is based on an assessment of the current national and local context. After the analysis within CEHPRODEC about the social context and the political dynamics evolving in the country, they concluded that the government has continued promoting politicies that permit the growth of extractive industry (especially gold) with negative social, economic and environmental impacts, as well as the accompanying violations of human rights.

The project aims to improve the livelihoods of 20 rural households in northern Honduras.  The project will use a participatory strategy to directly engage 145 peasants in implementing changes in the management of their agricultural crops, soil, food production and marketing. The project will promote an agro-ecological production system that is environmentally friendly and improves the resilience of the social-natural systems to the effects of climate change. The main goal of the project is to increase income and produce enough food during the year to improve nutrition as result of the agroecology practices implemented in the farms.
Support to the operation of San Juan Bosco Centre ERIC-RP owns the San Juan Bosco Centre, located in the municipality of Tela, Department of Atlántida. It´s a space for in-depth attention, accompaniment, training and meetings at both a personal and collective level for ecclesial, popular and social organisations. Agro-ecological initiatives, which include training; tree and vegetable planting; production and sale of organic fertilisers; are implemented in the Centre. 
The project will improve its infrastructure, but also supporting legal procedures to enhance opportunities and a social marketing strategy. By developing constructive actions to improve and equip the centre, it will be possible to have better conditions of comfort and greater security. At the same time the project will increase the production of organic fertiliser, the planting of vegetable gardens and fruit trees, as well as agro-ecological training modules.
This initiative is linked to a market study planned for 2023 to identify the potential of the Centre and to open up space at the local level where there are several institutions, organisations and parishes that can demand its services.
Defending tomorrow through historical memory and collective action Extractive policies and practices on the environment and common goods have are producing a serious damage in the northwestern region of Honduras. 31% of the territory is concessioned (approximately 34,900 km2). During last 10 years, 548 natural resource concessions have been awarded at national level, of which 265 are located in this region. There are about 21 hydroelectric projects in indigenous peoples' territories, without social participation and prior consultation. As well as, the agro-industrial model of palm export has continued.
The concessions have generated conflicts for the conservation of natural resources. The forced displacements that they entail for the peasant, indigenous and Afro-Honduran communities makes these projects enter into strong opposition to the the needs and rights in local communities, thus becoming in source of social and political conflict.
In this context, the proposal is linked to the objectives and achievements of the EU funded regional project (ICD1016) since it will keep issues of defence of  land rights  on the public agenda.
The project is also linked to the "Strategic Plan for integral ecology and food sovereignty" presented by the partner in 2020, inspired in "Laudato Si" and considering the impact of the pandemic in Honduras.
The partner will develop strengthening initiatives for accompanied social movements and communities through the design and implementation of legal, protection and advocacy strategies. The expected changes include to increase the awareness on the importance of stronger institutions and the Rule of Law in Honduras to protect land rights defenders. The planned training and participatory research processes aim to empower the targeted communities and defenders.
Agricultural Rehabilitation for Communities affected by Tropical Depression 16 This emergency project will support 150 households in 7 communities in Tegucigalpa Archdiocese who were affected by heavy rainfall and strong winds caused by Tropical Depression 16 which hit Honduras and other parts of Central America at the end of October 2008. Our partner Caritas Tegucigalpa will assist vulnerable families, whose homes and crops were damaged and/or destroyed by flooding and landslides, to restore their livelihood security through agricultural rehabilitation. As well as providing target households agricultural inputs with the aim of reducing levels of food insecurity, the project will have a strong focus on providing training and technical accompaniment on sustainable agricultural techniques in order to reduce vulnerability to future hazards. Caritas will support local emergency committees to design and implement Community Risk Maps and Disaster Risk Reduction Plans and provide training on natural resource management and environmental issues to increase awareness and improve community resilience to future hazards.
Promote innovation in local agro-ecological production systems in northern Honduras Current rural policies are aimed at strengthening mono-cropping and agribusiness, not small farmers.  In Honduras, 8 out of 10 families have no land or less than five hectares of land to work.  Poverty exceeds 70% in households in rural areas and 40% of rural households live in extreme poverty. The last two years in Honduras has seen a food crisis that was considered unprecedented in the history of the country.  It affected 64 municipalities in the country and more than 76 000 small producers. The project aims to improve the livelihoods of 90 rural families in northern Honduras.  The project will use a participatory strategy to engage 30 families in implementing changes in the management of their agricultural crops, soil, food production and marketing. The project will promote an agro-ecological production system that is environmentally friendly and improves the resilience of the social -natural systems to the effects of climate change.  ERIC-RP will show that agro-ecological systems strengthen food sovereignty and security, and nutrition. Project sustainability rests on the learning and management abilities of rural families for increasing sustainable production and marketing of products, generating more income for rural families and promoting equity. The main goal of the project is to increase income and produce enough food during the year to improve nutrition. As part of the accompaniment of the groups, the goal is to help farmers improve their decision making so their investments improve sustainability and social responsibility.
Human Rights Defence and advocacy for Honduran communities During last years there has been a significant increase in the number of human rights defenders killed, threatened, stigmatised and criminalised in Honduras, highlighted as the most dangerous country of the world for the defence of the environment. Only during the last 10 years 123 land rights defenders were murdered. This initiative aims to support and protect human right defenders at risk working on land and environmental rights across the country. The partner has worked with national and international networks in advocacy initiatives to raise the awareness through reliable evidence. The lawyers Team has carried out strategic litigation work at the Inter-American Human Rights System on cases of criminalisation of defenders working on land rights. There is a renewed local and young leadership within communities accompanied by the partner promoting a “popular sovereignty” concept, which has been scaled to a national and regional level. Alliances with ecumenical organisations, parishes and social movements will be relevant in the implementation and the care of the common home is a media content production cross-cutting topic. ERIC-RP has a relevant leadership within the Commission for Social Apostolate of the Jesuits in Central America (CPAS). In particular this mission is accomplished through the development and diffusion of social, theological and cultural analysis and reflection.
Context update 2022
In January, the first woman president in history, Xiomara Castro, took office with a programme that included an explicit mention of the need to incorporate comprehensive protection policies for human rights defenders. The ratification of the Escazú Agreement by the Honduran Congress could open the door to greater transparency by the private sector and recognition of land and environmental defenders. This is the first binding instrument in the world to include specific regulations on land and environmental defenders.
Integral defence and protection of Our Common Home in 3 municipalities in the department of Olancho. The department of Olancho is known for its large territorial extension, its warm climate and fertile soils, however, it is one of the departments with the largest land concessions, with agrarian conflict, permanent threats of hydroelectric projects, increasing open-pit mining, illegal logging and timber trade, and violence against people who oppose the installation of extractive projects.
The food production is based on cultivation techniques that do not favour self-consumption and that are based on technologies that contaminate the livelihoods of the population, due to the excessive use of chemical substances (fungicides, pesticides, chemical fertilisers of different kinds), greatly affecting the environment and the quality of life of the people.
The project will develop a comprehensive accompaniment strategy for the Olancho Environmental Movement in Defence of Life (MAODVI). CEHPRODEC brings to this initiative the main lessons learned from its previous work in other territories, with the support of CAFOD and other donors. Based on primary evidence, the integral ecology approach will be promoted, understood in the local context of the target groups, as the connection between their community empowerment, their protagonism in demanding their rights from decision-makers and the implementation of agro-ecological initiatives that contribute to their economic and social autonomy. Together, the aim is to generate dignified living conditions for the movement's leadership and their families, as well as to contribute to mitigating situations of insecurity derived from their work as defenders of our common home. The processes of participatory community research have made it possible to articulate agroecological approaches, as a way of "feeling and living the countryside" and the agri-food system, considering the complexity of agronomic, ecological, social and economic conditions, prioritising the local voice and agency of the defenders of MAODVI.
Contributing to human rights defence against impunity in organised communities This project is aimed to improve access to justice, denouncing human rights violations, institutional weaknesses and lack of Rule of Law in Honduras. Advocacy initiatives against impunity will be promoted, specially related to natural resources, land and territory rights.  Also, Human Rights Defenders' work will be supported through alliances with local, national and international networks, accompaniment, training and research. As a result of these actions, a deeper analysis and debate on human rights situation will be disseminated.  As in previous projects, partner will continue being part of the following alliances:  a) Coalition against Impunity, an initiative for national articulation of 30 human rights organisations;  b) Monitoring Committee to comply with the Resolutions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights; c) Social Movement Platform of Honduras: 20 organisations developing an agenda in defence of natural resources.

At organisational level, FUNDAERIC is continually developing internal training processes and self-assessments that identify improvement areas and priority actions. The following institutional areas will be supported through this project:
- Strategic Planning 2018-2021. M&E will ensure that project responds to the long-term objectives.
- Gender Policy. 
- Code of ethics.
- Administrative Manual improvement
- Institutional Security Plan adjustment.
1330 People Improving the Water Resource Managemen in the Progreso, Honduras This project is focussed in Water Resources Management with Women’s Empowerment and will be implemented by The Reflection, Investigation and Communication Team (ERIC-SJ) in Honduras that is a member of the CAFOD’s Livelihoods and DRR platform in Central America.  it will be implemented in 1 municipality and 9 communities benefiting to 460 people (394 women, 66 men). Another problem in Central America is the impact that natural disasters have; every single year flooding or drought has extensive negative impacts on rural families’ livelihoods. There are two main problems caused by climate change: quality of water affected by temperature change and the availability of water especially for agricultural purposes due to prolonged drought. The municipality of El Progreso, Honduras, is located in areas where there exist gaps in water and sanitation facilities while others have been damaged by natural disasters and to completely repair these is too expensive for communities who are very poor. The depletion of water resources is the main problem, especially right now by the mining enterprises, as these are left unprotected by the construction of  open-pit mines. This situation worsens the situation in the communities especially for women who are most affected since they are in charge of the domestic work (clean houses, cooking, carrying water, education of children, and personal hygiene for each member of their family, etc). As in other countries in the region, women and children are at risk because they need to walk long distances alone to collect water. While women participate in the local water committees, they are not in decision-making posts and lack influence and are unable to take on important roles. The main aim is to promote and enhance women’s participation during programme implementation and to improve project sustainability. Also the project will work with the community members to improve environmental and health practices, and to implement sustainable practices.  All these techniques will be implemented around natural water sources and springs using a watershed management approach. One of the most important issues will be the strengthening of key grassroots organizations: The Rural Water Network in Honduras and one local women organizations, the Producer Women’s Network (REMUPRO) in El Progreso, Honduras.
218 HHs building from their own collective spaces a new social, economic and cultural model. Current rural policies are aimed at strengthening mono-cropping and agribusiness, not small farmers. Policies on the environment and the sale of natural assets is alarming - 31% of the territory is under concession (approx. 34,900 km2).  Since 2010, 548 natural resource concessions have been awarded, of which 265 are in the north-western region of the country. There are around 21 hydroelectric projects in indigenous territories without prior consultation. In Honduras, 8 out of 10 families have no land or less than five hectares of land to work. Poverty exceeds 70% in households in rural areas and 40% of rural households live in extreme poverty. The last two years in Honduras has seen a food crisis that was considered unprecedented in the history of the country.

This project aims to improve the livelihoods, grassroot organization and advocacy capacity of participating HHs through citizen participation spaces in northern Honduras using a holistic and integral approach. The project will promote changes in the management of their agricultural crops, soil, and food production with emphasis on agroecology and marketing. The project will improve the resilience of the social-natural systems to the effects of climate change. One of the target groups are youth, participating in different social platforms. Youth will contribute to solutions for the civic crisis in Honduras by using citizen participation spaces to demand human rights. Youth networks will channel their demands to local and national authorities using advocacy plans developed as part of the training process through the Political & Citizen Training School (EFPC). ERIC-RP continues to accompany people who are victims of human rights violations, particularly emblematic cases related to the defense of natural resources.  As part of the holistic approach ERIC-RP will share and communicate all successful experiences and lessons learnt through community journalist networks.
Sustainable Development in the Rural Areas With a Food Security and Risk Management Approach This project aims to strengthen the productive and marketing capacity of sugar cane producers -121 households - in Yoro Municipality of Honduras. 
Working with three producer enterprises, CAFOD’s partner Comal – a network of grassroots farmer organisations - aims to do this through:
•	promotion of decentralisation of food supply chains and thus increased ownership and decision making by producers;
•	workshops on organisational principles and practice, and entrepreneurship;
•	organisation of committees, and documented action planning, for each enterprise involved; 
•	provision of equipment for sugar packing in the community (rather than centrally);
•	strengthening of the enterprises’ financial and accounting systems and practices, through the purchase and installation of appropriate software, and training in its use.
