Honduras

With a per capita GNP of US$730 in 1998, Honduras ranks among the lowest-income countries in the Western Hemisphere.  During the 1980s it faced a prolonged economic decline triggered by:

  • the debt crisis early in the decade;
  • a large and inefficient public sector;
  • extensive administrative controls that discouraged private investment;
  • a trade regime biased against exports;
  • inefficient financial intermediation;
  • low investment in education;
  • and insecure property rights.

All of which seriously discouraged savings and investment.

DFID focuses on supporting the PRS process, and developing and implementing DFID key objectives in Central America:

  • Participatory PRSP process;
  • the reduction and prevention of violence;
  • pro-poor growth;
  • the prevention of HIV and AIDS;
  • transparent and accountable Governments.

DFID's strategy is to work along side key multilateral organisations and bilateral donors.
