Strengthening Strategic Capacities for Water Security in Prioritized Watersheds of the SICA Region
The project aims to contribute to water security in prioritized watershed territories of the SICA region by producing technical diagnostic studies, cost-of-inaction/benefit-of-action analyses (BACI), and strategic water investment plans with bankable project profiles per watershed. It operates in 8 watersheds across 8 countries —Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and the Dominican Republic— incorporating gender, intercultural, and climate risk perspectives
2026 Agricultural, Livestock and Coffee Production Incentive Program
The Government of Honduras launched the 2026 Agricultural, Livestock and Coffee Production Incentive Program in Comayagua, with an investment of 1.5 billion lempiras in productive grants and agricultural incentives aimed at strengthening food security and boosting the rural economy. The initiative supports small and medium-scale producers through fertilizers, certified seeds, agricultural inputs, technical assistance, and climate resilience measures, with a strong focus on maize and bean production. The program is expected to benefit agricultural, coffee, and livestock producers across 17 departments nationwide.
Strategy for Technological Innovation to Improve the Productivity and Competitiveness of Supply Chains in Central America and the Dominican Republic
PRESICA developed a regional agricultural innovation model based on Local Innovation Consortia, which bring together producers, research institutes, universities, NGOs, and the private sector around value chains for corn, beans, cassava, and sweet peppers. The strategy was grounded in producers’ technological needs to drive research, technology validation, technology transfer, and extension services with a territorial focus. The project operated in eight Central American countries and the Dominican Republic, forming 22 local consortia. It contributed to strengthening national and regional agricultural innovation systems as a public good.

2026 Agricultural, Livestock and Coffee Production Incentives Program
The 2026 Agricultural, Livestock and Coffee Production Incentives Program, promoted by the Government of Honduras through the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (SAG), aims to strengthen national production, boost the rural economy and reinforce food security through an estimated public investment of 1.5 billion lempiras allocated to subsidies and productive incentives for agricultural, livestock and coffee producers, including the distribution of certified seeds, fertilizers, technical assistance and productive infrastructure, with a focus on family farming and small-scale producers, while promoting climate resilience, increased agricultural productivity and food supply across the country.
Strengthening Food Security Response Capacities in SICA Member Countries: Guatemala, Honduras and the Dominican Republi
Technical cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening institutional capacities in food and nutrition security in Guatemala, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. It is structured around two components: the development of a regional SAN information and indicators system with a gender and ethnic diversity lens, and the strengthening of SAN institutions at regional and national levels, including CIF methodology training and the preparation of national chapters of the CELAC SAN Plan.
Water for Honduras
The Agua de Honduras platform is an innovative initiative that provides reliable information on water resources in a quick and free manner. This platform combines scientific methods, digital technology, and public information on hydrographic boundaries, climate, soils, vegetation cover, and detection of vegetation loss, water demand and quality, flooding, and hydrology to facilitate decision-making on water resource management in micro-basins, sub-basins, and basins. This initiative currently covers the departments of Ocotepeque, Copán, Santa Bárbara, Cortés, Comayagua, Lempira, Intibucá, La Paz, Valle, Choluteca, and partially Francisco Morazán, El Paraíso, Yoro, and Atlántida.

Integrating sorghum cultivation into agricultural systems in the Central American Dry Corridor
The project establishes a regional partnership for the sustainable intensification of the Dry Corridor through the integration of climate-resilient sorghum and forage crop genotypes. Through soil characterization and a digital recommendation platform, the project aims to increase productivity and water availability in vulnerable agricultural systems. The initiative, funded by the Government of New Zealand (GRA), will transfer technical knowledge and precision technology to producers, advisors, and students in the region.
