Honduras
Honduras is an impoverished country that has been repeatedly battered by both natural disasters and sociopolitical turmoil, such as catastrophic flooding caused by hurricanes, persistent droughts linked to climate change, a 2009 military coup, disputed elections, endemic corruption and soaring crime rates.

USIP is developing new programming in the country that will focus on communities with high emigration rates. The objective is to help Hondurans bridge political and social divides, counter polarization, reduce urban violence and prevent climate-related conflict in the countryside.
