National Reconstruction Report 1998-2001 CONSULTATIVE GROUP M E E T I N G F O R Tegucigalpa M.D.C., June 10th and llth, 2004 NATIONAL RECONSTRUCTION REPORT 1998-2001 INTRODUCTION Since the end of 1998, Honduras has concentrated enormous efforts on completing the national reconstruction phase and on advancing in the reform processes of key sectors, within the framework of the commitments made at the Consultative Group meeting in Stockholm, Sweden in May 1999. As a follow-up of the above, the present administration is responsible for finishing the tasks that are still being executed, either due to their magnitude or to their recent initiation; and also for providing the international cooperating community with the information needed to evaluate the achievements obtained during the reconstruction process, October 1998 - December 2001; being informed of the transparency with which resources have been used; and documenting lessons learned throughout the process. As Hondurans we have given important indications of a profound and firm will, not only regarding the objectives of the national reconstruction, but also of the transformation process that we already have started, but that need to deepen further. In the perspective of strengthening the commitment with this transforming process, the Government Plan 2002-2006 has been prepared, in agreement with the achievement of the goals of the Poverty Reduction Strategy and the document My Commitment With you. Likewise, the present Administration has decided to dedicate its greatest efforts, together with the organizations of the civil society, to structuring a country vision, that has the development of the human person as its central axis and that will permit future generations to inherit a country that is advancing in a sustainable manner along the pathway of development and social equity. We are fully aware that the achievements visible in the country, which we expect to improve during the next few years, are the result of the firm determination of the Honduran society and its government, as well as the complementary role played by the international cooperation. We hope that these same elements will be consolidated and strengthened during the process of national transformation in order to successfully face their great challenges for the benefit of the Honduran people.

In the last years, Honduras has had to carry forward an arduous process of reconstruction, as a result of the devastation caused by hurricane Mitch, a phenomenon qualified as the greatest natural disaster in the last two hundred years, at the same time is has had to deal with a series of problems stemming from its condition as a highly indebted poor country and has had to undertake important steps towards setting the foundation for national transformation and poverty reduction. 2. The implementation of the Master Plan for National Reconstruction and Transformation (MPNRT) has required a great amount of public investment resources as well as the involvement of the different sectors of society. The achievements obtained, have had the firm support of the international cooperant community, not only with their contribution of financial resources but also with their supporting presence in coordination actions and events, follow-up and accompaniment in key aspects for the country. 3.

    International Conference “Transboundary Aquifers: Challenges and New Directions”(ISARM2010) TRIFINIO: Transboundary Aquifer Systems in the Upper Lempa River Basin, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, in Central America Mario Samuel Buch1 ; José Mario Guevara2 (1) GTZ-German Technical Cooperation, and Trinacional Commission for the Trifinio Plan, Esquipulas, Guatemala. email: [email protected] (2) National Executive Direction for the Trifinio Plan of El Salvador. email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Trinacional Commission for the Trifinio Plan is managed by the respective national deputy presidents and works under the slogan ‘Water without borders’, recognizing the importance of water resources for these three countries. This study includes homogenization of existing geological descriptions of different geological units in the Trifinio region. Physical and chemical parameters were measured in the field for about 140 samples. Geoelectrical campaigns were carried out in selected areas to reveal information about the location and hydraulical properties of the principal aquifers. Thus, the first hydrogeological map of the Trifinio region was generated with a scale of 1:100 000. The preliminary results have shown the chemical and isotopic similarities between most surface waters and groundwaters, suggesting both a fast dynamic for most systems and the relevance of local sources of recharge. The precipitation presents a high temporal variation in deuterium (-105.60 ‰ ≤ δ2H 21.66 ‰) and oxygen-18 (-14.76 ‰ ≤ δ18O ≤ 1.37 ‰), due to the combined effects of amount and altitude. Also, a strong seasonally effect can be found. Tritium was determined in 29 samples from wells, springs, rivers and lakes from El Salvador. Observed maximum activity was of 2.09 UT and a minimum of 0.00 UT.

  • A New Species of Arboreal Pitviper from the Atlantic Versant of Northern Central America
    Rev. Biol. Trop., 48(4): 1001-1013, 2000 www.ucr.ac.cr www.ots.ac.cr www.ots.duke.edu A new species of arboreal pitviper from the Atlantic versant of northern Central America Jonathan A. Campbell1 and Eric N. Smith1 1 Department of Biology, The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX 76010, USA. Fax 817-272-2406. e- mail (JAC) [email protected], (ENS) [email protected] Received 9-II-2000. Corrected 14-VI-2000. Accepted 16-VI-2000. Abstract: A new species of green, prehensile-tailed pitviper of the genus Bothriechis is described from the Atlantic slopes of eastern Guatemala and western Honduras. This species appears to be most closely related to B. bicolor of the Pacific versant of Chiapas (Mexico) and Guatemala. Several other species of Bothriechis occur on the Atlantic versant of northern Central America, including two montane species, B. aurifer and B. marchi but, with one possible exception, these are not known to be sympatric with the new species and occur in differ- ent mountain ranges. The widespread B. schlegelii occurs up to at least 900 m on the Sierra de Caral, where the lowest elevation recorded for the new species is 885 m. Key words: Reptilia, Squamata, Viperidae, Pitvipers, Bothriechis, New species, Izabal, Guatemala, Honduras. Species of the arboreal pitviper genus pitvipers that are usually mostly greenish in Bothriechis range from the highlands immedi- color, have the middle preocular and suprala- ately east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to cunal coalesced into a single scale, and have western Panama, with one species extending an exceptionally short tail spine that is usual- into northern South America (Crother et al.
