The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $9,920,779 Cooperative Agreement under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program to Rainforest Alliance, Inc., a non-profit organization, to strengthen the capacity and increase income of at least 4,000 producers and 60 local companies in Honduras' Northern Atlantic region. This 5-year project, which began on February 1, 2024, aims to support sustainable agriculture and forestry initiatives that promote biodiversity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve rural livelihoods. As a sub-grantee, Rainforest Alliance has also contributed to other USAID projects focused on combating illegal logging, promoting legal forest product trade, and developing jurisdictional data systems for sustainable landscape management.
