Agricultural Development Programme for the Western region

15 September 2001

Through the Agricultural Development Programme for the Western region, Honduras, 731 micro-entrepreneurs and 9,773 small producers (68 percent men, 32 percent women) received technical assistance – twice as many as originally planned.

Financing was made available to 4,000 families without access to formal credit and the credit fund grew by 6 percent leaving US$1,484 million for credits in the project area. Support was provided for productive activities (reforestation, raising of small animals and other consumption activities) lightening the workload of women. These activities and training – which provided a gender-sensitive approach for experts and producers – helped improve the situation of women.
