Yet 2.8 million workers die every year from work-related causes and 374 million workers suffer from occupational accidents and diseases. The human cost of this adversity is enormous and the economic burden of poor occupational safety and health (OSH) practices is estimated at 4.0 per cent of the world’s annual gross domestic product. The International Labour Organization (ILO) aims to raise global awareness of the dimensions and consequences of work-related accidents, injuries and diseases, and to place the safety and health of all workers on the international agenda in order to stimulate and support practical action at all levels. This is why the ILO, through its Safety and Health for All flagship programme, promotes an OSH culture by designing and implementing effective local solutions that can be replicated globally. A clean, safe and healthy workplace helps to promote decent work. In addition, the establishment of the Vision Zero Fund (VZF), a multidonor trust fund administered by the ILO, demonstrates the international community’s commitment to OSH in global supply chains. As part of a project on the coffee value chain in Honduras funded by the VZF with resources provided by the European Commission, a study was conducted to identify the drivers and constraints affecting OSH and to recommend a number of interventions based on social dialogue. The preliminary results of the study led to a process of dialogue on OSH involving the coffee producers in the regions included in the study and the most representative stakeholders in the coffee value chain in Honduras. The interventions set out in this document — as approved by the Honduran Coffee Institute and the National Coffee Council — reflect the agreements made during that process. Finally, the study and its interventions were approved and endorsed at a national tripartite meeting.

Date of Report:' September 17, 1974 B. 1. Background: As contemplated in the Loan Agreement this loan was made to the Government of Honduras (Borrower) to carry out certain feasibility studies of high priority in the economic and social develop­ ment of Honduras. 2. Scope of the Project: The Superior Council for Eco­ nomic Planning (CONSUPLAN), the agency of the Borrower responsible for the execution of the project, decided to undertake, under this loan, the feasibility study and preliminary engineering for the Central Highway extending from Tegucigalpa to Yoro and from Sta. Rita through Yoro to Olanchito. The total length of the project was estimated about 368 kms. A U.S. consult­ ing firm, Transportation Consultants International, Co. (TCICO), was selected by the Government, and approved -2­ by A.I.D., to make the study. The contract was sign­ ed on September 13, 1967. C. Project Execution: In agreement with the Consultant, CONSUPLAN decided that the preliminary engineering part of the study would be undertaken by making use of photogram­ metry and electrical surveying instruments, rather than by conventional ground survey methods. With this purpose, flights were made at an appropriate altitude to provide photographs atAscale of approximately 1: 10,000 covering a strip approximately 2.3 kilometers in width. All angu­ lar measurements, both horizontal and vertical, were made with Wild T-2 theodolites. Slope distance measurements were made by using Tellurometers ind DM-20 Electrotapes.

However, a combined negative factor, including, among others, climate crisis, the incidence of diseases and pests, and poor land-use planning, have led to a decline in coffee yields, impacting on the family economy. Therefore, this research assesses land suitability for coffee production (Coffea arabica) in Amazonas region, in order to support the development of sustainable agriculture. For this purpose, a hierarchical structure was developed based on six climatological sub-criteria, five edaphological sub-criteria, three physiographical sub-criteria, four socio-economic sub-criteria, and three restrictions (coffee diseases and pests).

From at least in or about 2004, up to and including in or about 2014, multiple drug-trafficking organizations in Honduras and elsewhere worked together, and with support from certain prominent public and private individuals, including Honduran politicians and law enforcement officials, to receive multi-hundred-kilogram loads of cocaine sent to Honduras via air and maritime routes from, among other places, Venezuela and Colombia. The cocaine shipments were transported westward within Honduras toward the border with Guatemala and eventually imported into the United States, often in coordination with high-ranking members of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel. 2. From at least in or about 2005, up to and including in or about 2014, ARNALDO URBINA SOTO, CARLOS FERNANDO URBINA SOTO, and MIGUEL ANGEL URBINA SOTO, the defendants, operated one such Honduran drug-trafficking organization, which was based in Yoro, Honduras, where ARNALDO URBINA SOTO acted as mayor between in or about 2009 and in or about 2014. 3. From at least in or about 2005, up to and including in or about 2014, ARNALDO URBINA SOTO, CARLOS FERNANDO URBINA SOTO, and MIGUEL ANGEL URBINA SOTO, the defendants, capitalized on their power in the Yoro Department and aligned with other major Honduran criminal syndicates, such as the Cachiros and the Copan-based group led by Miguel Arnulfo Valle Valle and Luis Alonso Valle Valle, to receive cocaine-laden aircraft at various locations in Honduras, including clandestine airstrips in remote areas as well as public roads in the vicinity of Yoro.
