Management of sustainable agriculture and social governance with equity in communities of the Pech ethnic group in the municipality of Dulce Nombre de Culm, Department of Olancho, Honduras.

The Olancho region of Honduras is marked by a dispersed population, limited basic services, and few opportunities to generate income for indigenous farmers.

At the IAF, we support community-led approaches to expand economic opportunity, promote social inclusion and strengthen grassroots organizations.

In the municipality of Dulce Nombre de Culmi, our grantee partner the Federacin de Tribus Indgenas Pech de Honduras (FETRIPH) works with four Pech communities to expand agricultural production and rural enterprise development, preserve Pech culture, and strengthen leadership structures to improve its members economic and social well-being.

This grant is part of the IAF's efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration in Central America and part of the IAF's broader COVID-19 response strategy.
