Under the Dry Corridor Alliance Program (ACS-USAID), the Government of Honduras and USAID aim to reduce extreme poverty and malnutrition in rural areas of Honduras. Since 2017, Global Communities has been implementing the \u201cWatershed Management and Conservation\u201d component of ACS-USAID in the departments of La Paz, Intibuc\u00e1 and Lempira, working with national government agencies, local and regional governments, communities and water organizations to address weak management of watersheds, which often results in severely deforested lands. The Project provides grants to communities to reduce rates of degradation and reforest the watersheds, providing sustainable access to water for consumption and irrigation. Global Communities also provides technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of local communities and organizations to manage water resources. This Learning Brief describes the Project\u2019s participatory approach, shares results to date and identifies key emerging lessons that will help to strengthen the Project moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
