INTRODUCTION In August 2011, the Government of the Republic of Honduras adheres to the Open Government Partnership (AGA by its acronym in Spanish), with the signing of the Letter of Intentions, Honduras 8 years ago adhered to the Open Government Partnership with the objective of promoting transparency, accountability, an ethical culture and citizen participation in the country, in accordance with the values of the OGP For the Government of Honduras, it is gratifying to see how far it has come. The road has not been easy and it’s proud to point out that within the framework of this initiative the government have made progress in helping build a culture that responds to the previously mentioned objective, so it is necessary to continue promoting compliance with the commitments established in Open Government Action Plans (PAGA by its acronym in Spanish). However, this process of consolidating a culture for transparency and accountability; it is not an exclusive task of the State and its powers, nor of government institutions, on the contrary, it must be a joint effort where scholars, the media, political parties and civil society play a leading role. , The hard work carried out by the AGA technical monitoring committee in Honduras is highlighted, a space that for a time was constituted in a tripartite way between the government, civil society organizations and private companies, but today adds the academy , with valuable contributions that strengthen the actions and scope of this initiative in the country. In this sense, the Honduran government, together with the different actors of the Honduran society and who are leaders in the Open Government Partnership Initiative, decided to incorporate in this IV action plan, commitments related to the five challenges of the AGA initiative, which are focused on: i) Increase public integrity; ii) Manage public resources eficiently and effectively; iii) Improve public services; iv) Create safer communities and v) Increase corporate responsibility and accountability of the private sector. The above, in order to consolidate significant developments to increase citizen confidence in this type of initiatives. In August 2018, the Honduras IV Open State Action Plan was officially launched, it was co-created through an active participation methodology, which included three days of citizen participation, with a direct approach to municipalities and gender inclusion; in the same way, we have for the first time the involvement of the three powers of state and the Association of Municipalities of Honduras and the private sector as responsible for commitments, which is made up of 20 specific commitments and 90 goals. In this IV PAEAH, 2018-2020, the three powers of state and the private sector are involved for the first time as responsible for commitments, as well as transforming issues such as gender, human rights, women and the environment; it constitutes a transcendental tool to fight corruption and promote greater transparency in the culture of the Honduran people. Honduras reaffirming its commitment to the fight against impunity in acts of corruption, and its high commitment to the values of the AGAH initiative, as well as promoting transparency, citizen participation and building trust in public institutions, in May in a public act the presidents of the Powers of State, holders of the State Organs; Attorney General's Office, Superior Court of Accounts. At the same time, the Institute for Access to Public Information and the Association of Municipalities of Honduras met to sign the Declaration to Consolidate Honduras in an open, transparent, agile, responsible, efficient State that continues to promote the development of Honduras. The Declaration seeks greater harmonious collaboration among all State entities, with the support of civil society, private sector and scholars, in the greater commitment of a frontal, total and radical fight against corruption, impunity and abuse of the public function in all its forms. This declaration is in accordance with the Lima Agreement "Democratic Governance" recently signed at the Summit of the Americas, as well as with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in which it’s principle 16 prmmotes a new public governance framework. Honduras has adopted both instruments. This action plan is aligned with the principles of open government, which are explicitly mentioned in SDG 16 (16.6; 16.7; 16.10). However, these principles are also integrated into several SDGs, in which transparency, public participation and the existence of accountable institutions are instruments for achieving the goals. In this regard, the Government of Honduras has the transparency policy that is based on international conventions against corruption signed by Honduras and on the principles set forth in the Lima Declaration, adopted at the VIII Summit of the Americas “Democratic Governance Against Corruption”, linked to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals. It is built around seven principles that seek to ensure the viability, effectiveness and materialization of its transformative spirit, as well as the fulfillment of its strategic challenges, strategies, actions and avoid the repetition of failed experiences, duplication of efforts and generate expectations that are not possible to comply. For its proper implementation, a strategy model is established that is based on two pillars, on one hand, commitment and leadership and on the other, the strategic guiding strategies of the transparency policy. (i) Transparency and Open State, (ii) Citizen participation and accountability, (iii) Modernization of the State and good governance, (iv) Integrity and prevention of corruption, (v) Detection, investigation and sanction of corruption, (vi) Political and electoral transparency, and (vii) Prevention focused on high risk sectors. At the same time, Honduras promotes actions linked to the SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES, for which reference is made to the commitments acquired in the open government action plan. In addition to the above, Honduras, for the development of action plans, considers the OGP Participation and Co-Creation standards, which establish the requirements that must be followed in terms of collaboration with civil society, citizens and other actors throughout the process, of which it stands out: The commitment to citizens to guarantee access to information regarding the development of the action plan, to offer civil society and other actors relevant information on all aspects of the national process of open government in the country, including any contribution from each sector, there is a national digital repository of the process http: //www.gobiernoabiertohonduras.o rg /, in order to ensure the diffusion of information.
