- The Government of Honduras, with the support of WFP, introduced the country's first innovative parametric agricultural microinsurance. This initiative is designed to benefit 1,880 maize and bean producers by mitigating the impact of extreme weather events on agriculture. This insurance will benefit producers in Lempira, La Paz, Santa Bárbara, Ocotepeque, Comayagua, Valle, and Olancho, providing an accessible and effective solution to protect their crops against adverse climatic events such as droughts or heavy rains.
- WFP played a key role in the recent CELAC meeting on the Plan for Food Security, Nutrition, and Hunger Eradication 2024-2030. Collaborating with FAO and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), WFP helped launch a platform to enhance monitoring and progress tracking. WFP also participated in ministerial dialogues with representatives from 26 countries, contributing to discussions on combating hunger and malnutrition. This involvement supports the CELAC Food Security Plan and aligns with WFP’s mission to strengthen food systems, improve nutrition, and eradicate hunger and poverty.
- WFP partnered with Fundación Ficohsa to benefit over 6,500 school children in 142 educational centers, ensuring they receive nutritious meals essential for growth and learning. Celebrating 25 years of support, Fundación Ficohsa plays a key role in the national school feeding program. This collaboration highlights the importance of joint efforts in improving food security and children's well-being in Honduras.
- WFP's strategy to strengthen capacity through weather stations has enhanced disaster risk management and anticipatory action in Honduras, benefiting 30 communities in Francisco Morazán, Choluteca, Comayagua, El Paraíso, and La Paz. By equipping the Ministry of Contingency and Risk Management with improved technical capacities and integrating real-time climate data into decisionmaking, the initiative has bolstered early warning systems and disaster preparedness. Local authorities and community members have been trained to interpret and act on weather information, enabling faster responses to climate threats.
- In January, as part of its emergency response program, WFP provided cash-based transfers (commodity vouchers) to 2,200 households in Gracias a Dios department affected by Tropical Storm Sara. Each household received a nutritionally balanced food basket, valued at USD 150, designed to meet the dietary needs of a family of up to five individuals.
- WFP conducted nutrition surveillance workshops for institutional health personnel in the departments of Olancho and Francisco Morazán. These workshops aimed to strengthen technical capacities in monitoring and analyzing nutritional data, enabling health professionals to better identify and respond to malnutrition risks. This initiative is part of WFP’s ongoing efforts to support national health systems in preventing and addressing malnutrition through evidence-based decision-making.
