Organizational Strengthening of the ANAFAE Network to Promote Agroecology and Food Sovereignty in Honduras ANAFAE will work with 15 of its partner organizations and national coordination office to improve members' knowledge skills and abilities to promote sustainable and ecologically sound agriculture methods (agroecology) in the drought-prone southern and western regions of Honduras. Project activities focus on technical assistance and other peer-learning methods like training of trainers on topics that include expanding ANAFAE member organizations' transparency and accountability capacity as well as strengthening overall coordination among the groups. ANAFAE will also seek to expand communications activities to raise awareness of successful outcomes and promising practices in agroecology with the public and policy makers and potentially contribute to increased resource mobilization for both individual members and the association as a whole.

Sustainable Development Project with Mestizo and Indigenous Pech Producers in the Buffer Zone of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor The municipalities of Catacamas and Dulce Nombre de Culm in eastern Honduras are in an area with limited opportunities for employment and consistent food insecurity, a situation which has often led to residents damaging the fragile ecosystems of protected areas while they try to make a living and grow food.
