Local Economic Development in the Golfo de Fonseca Region
The project aims a promoting inclusive economic development in the Golfo de Fonseca Region, which is part of the dry tropical zone of Central America, particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The single phase Project, co-financed with IDB’s Multilateral Investment Fund, allows influencing larger IDB private sector operations and hence up-scaling. It also helps shaping SDC’s planned programs in local economic and value chain development.

Contexto |
The Golfo de Fonseca region has a low to medium development index; poverty levels are higher than national average. The Region has a dynamic commercial sector for non-traditional agro-exports offering relatively few jobs, and a dominant basic grain production by small producers providing 45% of all “Jobs”, albeit with very low incomes. The region is highly vulnerable to climate change. Donor presence is less than in the poorest eastern parts of Honduras. Golfo de Fonseca is a pilot region for the regional development approach under the National Development plan and has thus a relatively well developed dialogue and planning platform involving private and public stakeholders. |
Objetivos |
Contribute to sustainable poverty reduction through inclusive local economic development that generates income and employment in the Golfo de Fonseca region, emphasizing systemic competitiveness and environmental sustainability and social inclusiveness. The Swiss Co-financing is not earmarked. It aims at influencing larger future IDB operations (up-scaling) and gaining further experiences that will help shaping planned SDC program in inclusive economic development. |
Grupos destinarios |
The program targets sustaining 13’500 existing jobs and generating 5500 new jobs. |
