Honduras Sustainable Connectivity Project

The development objective of Sustainable Connectivity Project for Honduras is to improve climate-resilient and safe transport access in the northwestern region of Honduras and promote sustainable livelihoods in selected areas through landscape management and women-led economic initiatives. This project has four components. 1) The first component, Construction of the CA-4 – CA-13 Connection Road Corridor, aims to finance the construction of a new two-lane 46-km climate-resilient and safe road connecting the CA-4 (near Macuelizo) and the CA-13 (near Corinto), close to the Guatemalan border. 2) The second component, Resilient improvement of feeder roads, finance the paving of about 41 km of existing unpaved feeder roads that are directly or indirectly connected to the new corridor to improve climate-resilient and safe access of the rural population in an area where climate change-exacerbated flooding has been identified as a key threat to the sustainability of the unpaved road network. 3) The third component, Inclusive and integrated sustainable landscape management, will combine gender-inclusive sustainable landscape management with community-driven economic development in priority areas adjacent to the CNP (including declared micro-basins) along the new road alignment West to the CNP. 4) The fourth component, Institutional strengthening, capacity building, and project management, has the following sub-components: (i) Institutional capacity building; (ii) Road Safety; and (iii) Project Management Support.
