Honduras National Preparations

In preparation for the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the Government of Honduras announced the establishment of a National Preparatory Committee during the ordinary session of the National Council for Sustainable Development (CONADES) which took place in Tegucigalpa on 22 February 2001. This Committee will constitute a sub-committee of CONADES, and will be in charge of implementing and following up the national sustainable development strategies integrating private and public sector, academic professionals, civil society and international organizations.

In addition, Honduras has completed its national review and assessment of progress in the implementation of Agenda 21. In order for everyone to pull in the same direction, and to avoid multiple strategic and competitive frameworks from the government, private enterprises, civil society, and international financial organizations, the National Report of the government of Honduras looks at a convergence between the Strategy for the Reduction of Poverty (ERP), and the National Strategy for Sustainable Development (ENDS), within the overall Comprehensive Development Framework of the World Bank and of the UNDP.

This Report contains their second revised proposal on the ENDS, which they hope to implement along with its criteria and indicators of sustainable development, to be put onto practice by the year 2005 in accordance with international obligations for sustainable development derives from Agenda 21, the Alianza Centro Americana for sustainable development (ALIDES), and the Summits of the Inter-American Summit. In addition to ENDS, they have also analyzed the POA of CONADES 2001 together with the National Programme for Sustainable Rural Development (PRONADERS), the Forest Policies of Protected Areas and Wild Life of the AFE - COHDEFOR and the Strategy for Biodiversity of the Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (SERNA).
