In 2021, IDLO began working with the judiciary of Honduras to improve citizens’ access to public information and quality communication, and to make the justice system more accessible, affordable, cost-effective, transparent and efficient. Through the project ‘Enhancing Judicial Transparency and Promoting Public Trust’ IDLO supports the country’s judiciary in increasing transparency and public engagement in the functioning of the courts as well as strengthening the justice system’s accountability.
IDLO also partners with the Institute for Access to Public Information and the Ministry of Transparency to strengthen the capacities of anti-corruption institutions and mechanisms to promote transparency, accountability and integrity based on international and regional good practice. As part of this, IDLO assessed legal and policy frameworks on anti-corruption in Honduras, identified capacity development needs and put together joint plans to address these with partner institutions.

Key Initiatives
-
IDLO is working with the European Union’s EUROsociAL II program in Honduras to aid and empower women who are victims of domestic violence. With the country’s judiciary, we have created the Centro de Atención y Protección de los Derechos de la Mujer (CAPRODEM), a women’s center providing orientation and legal assistance for female victims in Tegucigalpa. IDLO has played a key role in drafting the internal and functional guidelines for the Center and helped build the capacity of those involved. CAPRODEM is expected to be replicated in other regions of Honduras.
