Advancing Partnerships & Resourcing

In 2023, the Honduras office has made important thematic alliances with resource mobilization. This is the case, for example, of mobilizing funds through the Peace Building Fund, to which 2 proposals were presented that passed the corresponding filters. The first has already been approved, and the second is pending approval by the PBF Secretariat. The second case refers to the area of Women's Political Participation, funds that are extremely complex to mobilize with almost any donor. However, due to the work carried out by the office in this area with CORE and OR funds, 2 relevant projects were achieved. The first with Spanish Cooperation and the second with the European Union, both in the pre-electoral context and with particular objectives for women defenders. In this sense, these alliances significantly strengthen both areas of our current Strategic Note and the current work plan.
