The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) awarded a $330,000 Project Grant under the IAF Assistance for Overseas Programs (CFDA 85.750) to the Asociacion De Desarrollo Triunfena (ADETRIUNF) to support community-led development initiatives in Honduras. The grant aims to address food insecurity and limited economic opportunities in the dry southern region of Honduras by funding sustainable agricultural production, comprehensive training and financial assistance for youth to continue their education or establish microenterprises, and strengthening community-based economic development committees. This grant aligns with the IAF's strategic initiative to address the root causes of migration in Central America. The project will be implemented over a three-year period from September 2024 to September 2027.

This can lead to food insecurity in rural communities, where young people also face limited employment opportunities. At the IAF, we support community-led solutions to expand economic opportunity in honduras. Our grantee the asociación DE desarrollo triunfeña (adetriunf) supports sustainable agricultural production, provides comprehensive training and financial assistance to young people to continue their education or establish microenterprises, and strengthens community-based economic development committees in the municipalities of EL triunfo, choluteca, namasigue, and concepcion DE maria to ensure meaningful opportunities for communities to thrive.
