Honduras

Joint Programming under exploration

The EU Joint Programing Document for Honduras was formally endorsed in the last quarter of 2019. It covered the period 2019-2022 and was aligned with the national strategic development plan (Plan de Nación 2010-2022). Joint Programming in Honduras involved three EU Member States (Germany, France and Spain), Switzerland, and the EU Institutions.

The JPD focused on 4 priorities:

1. Decent employment and economic growth
2. Decentralisation and local development
3. Sustainable management of natural resources and adaptation to climate change
4. The rule of law and democratic governance, corresponding to SDGs 1, 2, 6, 8, 13, 15 and 16.

It also contemplated horizontal aspects as human rights, gender equality and dialogue with non-state actors. The document was aligned to the country’s strategy, and it used as a framework for its engagement with the partner country the Agenda 2030 and the SDGs. 

A number of consultations on the Joint Programming Document took place with Government, civil society, private sector and UN. A joint results framework was agreed between the EU Delegation, EU member states (ES, FR & DE) and Switzerland. One of the pillars of the JP has been developed in the TEI on Climate Change. The new EU Programming document for 2021-2027 is aligned with JP priorities.
