EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Quarterly Report covers activities carried out by the Youth Alliance Honduras- USAID (AJH), Cooperative Agreement No. AID-522-A-12-00001 implemented by Creative Associates International, Inc., from April 1 through June 30, 2012, that contributes to the Central America Regional Security Initiative (CARSI) Goal: Strong and resilient communities resist and prevent crime and violence. This quarter, AJH has made significant advances in the implementation of the program, focusing on the following activities: Concluding the selection of 14 high risk intervention communities and its respective Outreach Center (OC) partners in San Pedro Sula, Choloma, La Ceiba and Distrito Central, and identifying potential partners for the 15th Outreach Center. At least six of these OCs will be established in the pilot LAPOP communities. Continuing support to 22 existing Outreach Centers in the four aforesaid cities plus in Puerto Lempira, which are benefiting 10,459 children and youth. Processing and submitting to USAID/Honduras 29 grants amounting to US$177,500. Concluding strategic alliances with high-leverage potential, including the signing of agreements with TIGO and the National Institute for Professional Training (INFOP), and the approval of an agreement with MASECA/FUNDEIH. Submitting a draft agreement for an alliance with the Honduran Social Investment Fund (FHIS) to fund the equipping of 10 OCs for a total amount of US$250,000. Developing new promising alliances with NGOs the National Foundation for the Development of Honduras (FUNADEH) and the Foundation for Corporate Social Responsibility (FUNDARSE) in San Pedro Sula, geared to the long term sustainability of OCs in San Pedro Sula and Choloma. Continued support of the Youth Movement against Violence, highly successful advocacy initiative, including their strong presence in the Central American Presidential Summit, and the initiation of a bi-monthly TV show. Advocating for the passage of the Juvenile Justice Reforms that lead to a meeting with the President of the Republic and a separate meeting with the First Lady at the Presidency, along with UNICEF, high officials from the GOH and leaders of CSOs advocating for youth. USAID Democracy and Governance Director, Ms. Brioni James participated in these two key meetings accompanied by AJH, and Organizing a National Juvenile Justice Forum for July, 2012, in alliance with UNICEF and IOM to cap the significant training and advocacy activities of AJH in this front AJH developed 29 grants this quarter that included the following: 22 of the 25 existing Outreach Centers(1); the implementation of 5 new Outreach Centers; the Honduran Youth Movement Against Violence follow-up grant; and the Tegucigalpa Chamber of Commerce to work in the reinsertion of rehabilitated ex-gang members and juvenile offenders. The 29 grants amounted to US$177,500 and only one grant for the Melgar 2 OC in La Ceiba totaling US$22,000 remains pending USAID approval by the end of the quarter. This quarter, AJH staff drafted the participatory Sustainability Assessments for the 22 existing Outreach Centers. The Assessments, the Sustainability Plans and grant proposals are expected to be completed next Quarter. On June 26, 2012, AJH Chief of Party, Salvador Stadthagen and USAID DG Office Director, Brioni James, presented USAID/Honduras youth programming at a Democracy and Governance Youth Panel in Washington DC. AJH have held several meetings and discussions around the Performance Monitoring Plan. Recognizing the pioneering nature of some of the work with at risk youth in vulnerable communities, USAID and AJH M&E experts developed indicators that reflect program impact and inform future programs and CARSI interventions. A final version of the program indicators has been submitted to USAID and this last draft is being used for the purposes of this report. As part of the alliances developed with National Prevention Program (PNPRRS), two pilots of the new Familias Fuertes (Strong Families) methodology, consisting in 7 weekly workshops have been introduced in the Cofradía Centro, San Pedro Sula and Nueva Suyapa, Distrito Central Outreach Centers This program will benefit 24 at risk youth and their families. Also, as part of this relevant alliance, the PNPRRS has reproduced thousands of copies of the Desafío de Soñar Mi Vida life planning modules and is implementing it is several communities around the country, including those benefited by the program. This quarter, AJH raised US$ 482,214 in leverage. This brings to cumulative amount January-June 2012 to US$ 502,135 of recorded leverage. At this time the AJH team has not been able to record all leverage raised at the Outreach Center/Community level. This information will be collected in the next quarter. (See attached summary of leverage by source in Annex 1) During this Quarter, Creative Associates International, concerned by how the increase in violence in Honduras could affect employees, partners and beneficiaries, conducted a Security Assessment in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba. (See attached Security Assessment in Annex 2). Several of the practical security recommendations (1) The remaining 3 existing Outreach Centers in the Distrito Central implemented by Save the Children Honduras (communities of Villafranca, Buenas Nuevas and Rosalinda) did not present application, due to special circumstances prevailing in the Comayagüela area and programming changes within this NGO with another donor. have been implemented. Others like the need of having a program vehicle and a driver for AJH´s operation in La Ceiba, cannot be accommodated within the limitations of the present budget. The cost of this Assessment was a contribution of Creative associates to the AJH program. The presence of AJH in media was significant this report period. Three print media articles mentioning the Outreach Centers were published, including a comprehensive feature about the OCs in El Heraldo. Also, alliances with visual media were strengthened this quarter including with Teleceiba Channel 7 which continues to broadcast AJH material; with National Channel TV8, which is started to broadcast the Youth Movement Against Violence one hour TV program every second Saturday, and has indicated it wants to air all AJH available video and prevention campaigns material; and with a local Choloma TV station which will soon start to broadcast AJH videos.

  • LIFE and WORK in the BANANA FINCAS of the NORTH COAST of HONDURAS, 1944-1957 a Dissertation
    CAMPEÑAS, CAMPEÑOS Y COMPAÑEROS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda January 2011 © 2011 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda CAMPEÑAS Y CAMPEÑOS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 On May 1st, 1954 banana workers on the North Coast of Honduras brought the regional economy to a standstill in the biggest labor strike ever to influence Honduras, which invigorated the labor movement and reverberated throughout the country. This dissertation examines the experiences of campeños and campeñas, men and women who lived and worked in the banana fincas (plantations) of the Tela Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the United Fruit Company, and the Standard Fruit Company in the period leading up to the strike of 1954. It describes the lives, work, and relationships of agricultural workers in the North Coast during the period, traces the development of the labor movement, and explores the formation of a banana worker identity and culture that influenced labor and politics at the national level. This study focuses on the years 1944-1957, a period of political reform, growing dissent against the Tiburcio Carías Andino dictatorship, and worker agency and resistance against companies' control over workers and the North Coast banana regions dominated by U.S. companies. Actions and organizing among many unheralded banana finca workers consolidated the powerful general strike and brought about national outcomes in its aftermath, including the state's institution of the labor code and Ministry of Labor.

  • Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology University of Michigan Annarbor, Miciiigan
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF THE MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ANNARBOR, MICIIIGAN THE SPHAERODACTYLUS (SAURIA: GEKKONIDAE) OF MIDDLE AMERICA INTRODUCTION Splzaerodactylus is one of the most speciose genera of gekkonid lizards. It is confined to the Neotropics, and the majority of its divers- ity is found in the West Indies where approximately 69 species, and an additional 74 subspecies, have been well-documented (King, 1962; Schwartz, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1977; Schwartz and Garrido, 1981; Schwartz and Graham, 1980; Schwartz and Thomas, 1964, 1975, 1983; Schwartz, Thomas, and Ober, 1978; Thomas, 1964, 1975; Thomas and Schwartz, 1966a,b). The mainland radiation was poorly understood until 1982 when Harris published his revision of South American sphaerodactyls. No comprehensive study has yet been at- tempted for Middle American forms, and it remains the last area of taxonomic confusion in the genus. The number of taxa currently recognized in Middle America is not great (10 species according to Peters and Donoso-Barros [1970], Schwartz [1973], and Smith and Taylor [1950b, 19661); however, their geographic distribution and variation, and status as species or subspecies remain to be con- vincingly demonstrated. The Middle American sphaerodactyl fauna appears to be divisible into two geographical-historical components. Most of the taxa may be thought of as belonging to an endemic group because the sister taxon *Division of Amphibians and Reptiles, Museum of Zoology, The University of Michi- gan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1079 U.S.A. 2 Harris and Kluge Orc.

  • Testimony of Alexander Main Senior Associate for International Policy
    Testimony of Alexander Main Senior Associate for International Policy, Center for Economic and Policy Research before the United States Congress Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission July 25, 2012 Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to present written testimony to the Lantos Human Rights Commission regarding the state of media freedom in Honduras. In my work as an analyst for the Center for Economic and Policy Research, I focus on political, economic, and social developments in Latin America and on the impact of U.S. policy throughout the Western Hemisphere. For the past three years, I have devoted a great deal of my professional life to monitoring and analyzing the human rights situation in Honduras. I have traveled to Honduras to speak to survivors, witnesses, experts, officials and analysts regarding abuses against such rights, including attacks on freedom of the press. Over the past three years, Honduras has become one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. According to Reporters Without Borders, of the 29 journalist killings in Honduras in the past decade, 24 have occurred since the unconstitutional military coup d’etat that removed democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya from office – at gunpoint – at the end of June 2009. 1 Numerous experts and analysts agree: this decline in journalists’ safety and freedom of the press is due in large part to a break down in law and order, and a deterioration of institutions, following the coup. The immediate post-coup period - from July to November 2009 - saw a number of brazen assaults on the media, which included the murder of a radio correspondent, raids and shutting down of radio and television stations by Honduran military and police, threats, kidnappings, and other abuses.

Dada la falta de imperio de la ley y de seguridad jurídica, era poco probable que las elecciones de noviembre de 2017 fueran libres y justas. En efecto, la victoria de Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH), quien ha estado en el poder desde 2014, fue cuestionada por sospecha de manipulación electoral.
