I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABOUT THIS REPORT
Gobernanza en Ecosistemas, Medios de Vida y Agua (GEMA) collaborated with diverse actors, partners, and sectors
to establish sustainable conservation and diversify economic growth in western Honduras. Coordination with actors
in the region provides an opportunity to protect critical forested areas, water resources, and species, while
strengthening goods, services, and livelihoods of vulnerable populations.
GEMA’s integrated approach is based on five principles:
• Maximum impact by working in specific geographies considering multi-stakeholder participation;
• Integration and interconnection within GEMA’s offices in the field to promote a sustainable long-term
impact;
• Effectively coordinating with other USAID DO2 programs and international donors;
• Working to empower women, young people, and vulnerable groups to achieve local environmental
governance;
• Implement interventions with a result focused approach;
Since GEMA seeks to "foster the resilience of subsistence livelihoods to reduce poverty in western Honduras," its
efforts focus on:
I. Reducing threats in areas of biological importance and critical ecosystems to preserve biodiversity and
protect water supply;
II. Increasing income-generating activities related to conservation; and
III. Boosting the capacity of vulnerable populations to adapt to climate variability.
The Q10 report describes Activity interventions from October to December 2018, structured pursuant to Section
F.5 (Quarterly performance and financial report) of task order No. AID-522-TO-16-00006. The report consists of
seven main sections:
I. Executive Summary;
II. Activity Background and Implementation Strategy
III. Progress Towards Indicators;
IV. Technical Implementation;
V. Activity Management;
VI. Financial Report;
VII. Annexes.
MAIN ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS
• Three grantees and an independent consultant initiated activities to monitor biological indicators for healthy
ecosystems in GEMA’s micro watersheds. The organizations involved are: The Science Foundation for Studies
and Conservation of Biodiversity (INCEBIO), National University Biology Department (UNAH-VS), Honduran
Ornithology Association (ASHO) and the consultant Malcolm Stufkens. These actors complement GEMA’s
biodiversity technical team and contribute exponentially to involved local actors in natural resources
conservation, preservation of biodiversity and mitigation of climate variability.
• 15 grants have been negotiated with private and public organizations in western Honduras for the
implementation of best practices in micro watershed management and conservation of natural resources. Best
practices include: formal declaration of micro watersheds, reforestation, fire prevention, prevention of water
contamination due to agricultural and human use, protection of water producing natural areas. All practices
include communities and local authorities’ participation and empowerment, which in turn contribute to increase
water governance in the territories. Examples of these organization are: Higuito Intermunicipal Council,
Municipal Association of Güisayote, Strategic Local Development Agency of Santa Rosa de Copan, Association
11
for Comprehensive Management of Watersheds in La Paz and Comayagua, Municipal Association of South Santa
Bárbara and others.
• Trained 487 actors in the Montecillos, Cocoyagua and Celaque-Puca areas of influence in better management of
natural resources to reduce threats identified in the PCA and IIE studies.
• The USAID Activities GEMA and GLH worked to generate an agreement between the municipalities of
Cucuyagua, Talgua and Las Flores regarding the design and implementation of a Green Fund to protect the La
Mirona- El Suptal water producing zone.
• GEMA’s Terra-i Honduras platform has been integrated to the SIGMOF platform used by the National Institute
for Conservation, Forestry Development, Protected Areas, and Wildlife (ICF), to be used as a work tool to
monitor alerts in forest coverage change, create reports and make decisions. ICF is using Terra-i in natural
protected areas such as Reserva del Hombre, the Rio Platano Biosphere and Golfo de Fonseca. This new tool
is already helping private and public organizations by identifying forest coverage change and guiding a more
effective supervision in the field.
• Trained 496 participants (357 men and 139 women) of water boards, irrigation groups and managers of
protected natural areas in natural resource management and institutional strengthening. These participants
receive training in (i) Legalization of JAAs and Irrigation Groups, (ii) Basic concepts of MCSEs, (iii)
Microwatershed declaration to protect water, (iv) Water Quality and Quantity Monitoring, (v) Terra-i
Honduras, and (vi) intermediate QGIS.
• Submitted three (3) requests for micro watershed declarations to ICF, representing a total area of 103.42 has
under protection for water production (2 in Cocoyagua, Copán, and 1 in San Marcos, Ocotepeque). Up to
date, 25 micro watershed declaration requests have been submitted to ICF.
• During this quarter, GEMA finalized the process of installing and registering eight hundred and fifty (850)
households with improved stoves in ten (10) municipalities of Copan and Ocotepeque. An additional 1,950
households have ben benefitted with the installation of an improved stove and GEMA is completing the
registration process. Twenty (20) memorandums of understating (MOUs) have been signed with Municipalities
who contribute with the installations of the stoves.
• Two technical highschools, the Federico C. Canales Institute in Jesús de Otoro and the 21 de Octubre Institute
in Marcala, replicated for second time the Renewable Energy Business course, training, in this case, 28 teachers
and students.
• 62 conservation enterprises in Copan, Lempira, Intibuca and La Paz have completed their environmental plans,
containing practices for a cleaner production process and a contribution to the watershed that provides the
water they consume. 40 micro-enterprises assisted through the grant with the Enterprise Development Center
located in La Esperanza organized a 3-day reforestation event, starting October 16th, during which 2,800 trees
were planted. This was done as part of the actions that contribute to conservation according to their
environmental plans. ICF joined the process, as well as young members of the US Forest Service program.
Additionally, the pilot project in Miko’s Hill restaurant located in Lake Yojoa is operating. The project consists
in a decentralized system for treating greywaters.
• Two (2) new grants for the coffee sector began implementation. The first is the “Sustainable Production of
Coffee in the micro watersheds benefitted by the Güisayote Protected Area”, implemented by Rainforest
Alliance in consortium with BECAMO. The second, “Technical assistance for coffee producers in the Las Vueltas,
Urungo and Yaguis micro watersheds”, in the Montecillos sub watershed, implemented by ASIDE. Combined,
both projects include 1,000 producers into the coffee value chain in the Montecillos and Güisayote work areas.
• Fifty-three (53) young trainees completed the tour guide training program on nature and adventure sports. Fifty-
one (51) of them were certified in these sports by the Honduran Mountain Sports and Climbing Federation
(FEHDME). 33 of them received additional training to reinforce knowledge and skills on tourism operation and
services to ensure the development of sustainable tourism products. GEMA will continue helping this group
until they are organized in microenterprises and able to offer tourism products to tour operators and the public
in general.
• Four hundred forty-nine (449) members of forty-four (44) CODELs in the municipalities of Chinacla, San José,
Santa María, Santiago Puringla (La Paz), La Iguala, San Sebastián, Belén (Lempira), and Las Vegas and San Pedro

The trainees were coffee producers assisted by the HQC and COHONDUCAFE grants in the areas of
Mejocote and Aruco (Lempira and Copán); as well as avocado producers assisted by FUNDER in the areas
of Erapuca and Güisayote (Ocotepeque).
II. ACTIVITY BACKGROUND & IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGY
STEP ONE: STRATEGIC TARGETING – DEFINING WHERE TO WORK AND WITH
WHOM
During Q10, GEMA has emphasized two lines of action: (i) the promotion of RFAs, and (ii) the socialization of PCA
results. The RFAs have been promoted in GEMA’s 11 areas of influence so that the actions foreseen in the proposals
of grants contribute to the result of the Activity’s indicators regarding the reduction of threats to ecosystems,
improvement of management conditions with focus on MCSEs, strengthening of water governance and local
capacities to adapt to climate change, as well as response to local emergencies in the areas of influence.
As to water governance, GEMA is working to link JAAs and CODELs in the micro watersheds prioritized by GEMA
so that both can complement field actions, especially to help communities reduce their vulnerability to the drought
that affects their water sources. This seeks to link the protection of micro watersheds as an adaptation action to
climate risks, complemented with technical assistance offered to ICF to improve and simplify RNP certification
processes and the declaration of micro watersheds in a way that encourages private owners and communities to
apply to the ICF for these protection regimes. In addition, the processes of declaration and legalization of JAAs will
be strengthened with training processes for community assemblies so that GEMA manages to reach a greater number
of people trained in the related topics.
Furthermore, one key strategy of IR1 is to help enterprises implement best practices, including ER systems and
technical assistance, and provide in-kind grants.
In R2: Agroforestry, GEMA has guided the implementation of training and technical assistance plans (PCAT) including
best agricultural practices (BPA) and best manufacturing practices (BPM) in 10 agroforestry projects that are being
currently executed. Likewise, two coffee projects were started in priority microwatersheds in the biological reserves
of Montecillos and Güisayote, which are in the baseline survey and PCAT elaboration for each work zone.
GEMA works with micro and small formal and non-formal enterprises located in the areas selected by the Activity,
dedicated to non-agricultural livelihoods. For this purpose, we have conducted specific studies of three value chains
with a high presence in the intervention area and with important impact on ecosystems and on populations of interest
such as women, young people and indigenous people.
As of Q10, the actions of Result 3 will be implemented integrally with the other results through local partners under
the modality of grants, within the framework of RFA 008 and 009, in addition to PD-0010, PD-0011 and PD-0013.
13
STEP TWO: CONTINUED ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL CONTEXT AND ACTIVITY
IMPLEMENTATION
The results of the PCAs and IIEs are being used as inputs to implement actions that reduce threats to ecosystems
and place priority areas or micro watersheds under better management conditions due to their biological importance
and water production. Additionally, the results of the PCAs and IIEs have identified information gaps, which have
been prioritized, especially regarding felines and their prey, biological indicators of healthy watershed management,
and avifauna as an indicator species of ecosystem health.
During Q10, GEMA has followed up on the accountability process of beneficiary JAAs to provide technical assistance
to local organizations so they can maintain their legal status and plan their watershed protection activities (review
of the previous year and preparation of the 2019 annual plan). This will allow GEMA to comply with additional 150
JAAs with MCSE frameworks at the end of Q11.
GEMA Technicians and implementing partners will be trained so that they can apply the water governance
measurement tool, which shows the current status of water governance and helps establish an action plan to improve
governance in the short and medium term. Implementing partners will apply this tool during year 3and 4, starting by
linking water quality data to decision making in the areas of Montecillos and El Jilguero. To this end, the information
analysis capabilities of the network of local actors in these areas of influence will be strengthened.
Regarding agroforestry livelihood, 3,121 producers are participating in the 12 agroforestry projects in execution, of
which 81% belong to the coffee value chain, 4% to cocoa, 5% to livestock, 5 % to sugarcane and 5% to avocado.
The main objective of the implementation of best agricultural practices (BPA) and manufacturing practices (BPM) is
the stabilization of the production systems and the improvement of the biophysical conditions of the work areas of
the families located in priority microwatersheds, through which the advance of the agricultural frontier and the
change of land use in areas of biological importance is reduced. It is estimated that the biophysical conditions of at
least 12,000 hectares are being improved.
GEMA continues to promote activities that strengthen non-agricultural livelihoods. The goal is to contribute to an
economic growth that is more sustainable environmentally, so it will adapt to climate variability, with high
participation of women, youth and ethnic groups, with a greater number of households that complement their family
income with non-agricultural activities and that include best practices in their productive processes, contributing to
the conservation of biodiversity and, in general, natural resources. The livelihoods identified and with which an
intervention has already begun are: natural fiber crafts, tile and brick, pottery, tourism related to nature and coffee,
natural/traditional medicine and processed foods.
STEP THREE: IMPLEMENTATION AND INTEGRATION
The implementation of activities is done in an integral manner with the other GEMA results, strengthening work
approaches and ensuring the reduction of threats. We also coordinate efforts with other USAID activities (GLH,
ACCESO, ACS, USFS, among others) which are implementing actions in the region, to enhance resources and
achieve greater impact.
As planned, all actions will be executed by local partners through direct technical assistance, contracted technical
assistance, and through the grants program. On the other hand, the activities planned in coordination with other
USAID activities (GLH, ACCESO, ACS, among others), have a different dynamic, requiring additional time to
document indicators, beneficiaries, geographical areas and priority issues.
14
Figure 1. Map of Graphic Distribution of Target Areas, Work Areas and Prioritized Watersheds
KEY ACTIVITIES FOR Q11
During Q11 GEMA will particularly focus on the following activities:
• Grants: Follow up and implement grants approved by USAID, as well as proposals that are being reviewed by
GEMA’s Grant Evaluation Committee. To this date, twenty-five (25) grants are being executed and eighteen
(18) will be sent to USAID for approval. 7 new grants will be analized during Q11.
• Micro Watershed Declarations: GEMA will focus especially on declaration processes for which documentation
has already been submitted to ICF. Twenty-three (23) of these processes are currently awaiting a “micro
watershed declaration” through the “certificate of declaration of forest protection zone”, and two (2) of them
have already been declared as forest protection zones.
• Follow up on the implementation, increase and operation of MCSEs: By the end of year 2, 102 MCSEs were
operational. This implies that 22% of the indicator target has been met. GEMA plans to intensify its efforts to
maintain the operation, strengthening and consolidation of the established systems, as well as to increase the
number of MCSEs constituted and initiated. Up to date 394 MCSEs receive technical assistance.
• Data Quality Analysis: GEMA will make a internal DQA for all 20 indicators of the project. The purpose of the
DQA is to identify any weakness in the processes, administration and/or quality of the M&E system. In addition,
the DQA will verify the quality of the indicators, the data collection and validation processes and tools, the
reported results, and it will also audit the existing documentation to support results.
• Biological Monitoring: Three (3) grants were approved and initiatied in Q10, and will continue their field work
on Q11:
o UNAH-VS: Reduction of threats to water security (Lago de Yojoa and Santa Barbara zones)
o INCEBIO: Community participative monitoring of felines and their prey (Micro watersheds in western
Honduras)
o Güisayote Municipal Association (Güisayote): Protection and management of biodiversity in the water
recharge area (RBGüisayote)
15
KEY GEMA ASSUMPTIONS
• The variability of average rainfall in the region affects soil conditions and the volumes of water in areas of water
recharge.
• The increase of average temperatures affects the micro and macro climate conditions of livelihoods, biodiversity,
ecosystems, and food production.
• The proliferation of pests and diseases that result from climate variability and global warming directly affects the
health of export crops (coffee, potato, and cocoa) and the quantity of production volumes.
• Fluctuations in the international coffee market. Honduras sells a great deal of specialty coffee (coffee cultivated
at 1,000 meters above sea level and more), which is significantly affected by market fluctuations; in addition,
differentiated coffees (certified by quality seal) have grown in demand but not in production.
• Natural events that could occur due to climatic conditions of the region include prolonged droughts and
intermittent, variable rains, floods, forests fires, pests, and diseases, among others.
• The national context is adverse regarding incentives, tax conditions and high raw material costs for agricultural
and non-agricultural productive activities. This affects at least three of GEMA’s indicators (2.1, 2.2 and 2.4).

IV. TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION
RESULT I: REDUCE THREATS IN AREAS OF BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND/OR
NATURAL RESOURCES TO CONSERVE BIODIVERSITY AND PROTECT WATER
QUALITY
The technical implementation of Result 1 includes, but is not limited to, interventions regarding the following sub-
results: strengthened local institutions to manage natural resources; ecosystem services compensation mechanisms
implemented; and, renewable and clean energy adopted. Due to the inter-reliance of activities between the
indicators, their compliance with sub-results is sometimes analyzed in an integrated or holistic manner, while other
times it is analyzed on an individual basis.
Main actions during Q10
Resilient Ecosystems
• Area Conservation Plans (PCA): Completed the synthesis report that summarizes the results of the PCA reports
in the 11 areas of influence.
• Biological monitoring: INCEBIO started the biological monitoring of nested conservation objects. Approved the
work plan and presented the first bibliographic analysis of the nested conservation objects prioritized for this
study.
• UNAH-VS: Initiated the grant with teh Biology Department UNAH-VS for the health assessment of priority
micro watersheds in the Lake Yojoa area of influence. Presented and approved the work plan and carried out
the orientation day with UNAH-VS’s technical team.
• Promotion of PCAs: Defined the methodology and started the process to share PCA results with key actors to
ensure that they effectively contribute to indicators 1.1, 1.2, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 respectively, in the following areas
of influence:
o Montecillos: Key actors: CEASO, ASIDE, Aguas de Siguatepeque, and ICF.
o Cocoyagua: Carried out a forum on water governance and the health status of the Cocoyagua micro
watersheds. 116 people participated, of which 83 are men and 33 are women. In coordination with GLH of
Copán and the HÉLVETAS Organization) (See Annex 5)
o Celaque-Puca: Developed 3 forums on water use and health status of micro watersheds with key
stakeholders from the municipalities of Cucuyagua, Las Flores and Talgua, which have jurisdiction over the
La Mirona-El Suptal micro watersheds. 371 people participated, of which 232 are men and 139 are women.
These forums were coordinated with GLH Lempira and GLH Copán.
25
o Güisayote-Pital: The PCA promotion process began with the Co-managing Council of Güisayote, in which
the Grant Aplication of the Municipal Association of Güisayote was finalized and aligned to the results and
recommendations of the PCA of this area of influence. (See infographic 1)
Infographic 1. Promotion and implementation of area conservation plans
• Environmental Fund (Green Fund): GEMA has promoted local initiatives for the creation of sustainable
structures to manage water resources. Two cases stand out:
o Support granted to Aguas de Siguatepeque as a result of the promotion in the area of influence of
Montecillos, for the regulation of the environmental fund used to conserve micro watersheds that supply
water to the municipality of Siguatepeque. Some of these micro watersheds are in the Montecillos area of
influence.
o Facilitated the agreement between the municipalities of Cucuyagua, Talgua and Las Flores (Lempira) to work
on the design and implementation of a green fund for the protection of the La Mirona-El Suptal water
production area, through agreements set forth in ordinances issued by each of the municipalities. This
process was accompanied by GLH, with technical assistance from GEMA. (See infographic 2)
Water Governance
• Management Plan: Technical assistance was provided to PUCA Foundation to adjust the management plan for
the Wildlife Refuge Montaña de Puca, on aspects like: (i) PCA, (ii) MCSE with JAAs, (iii) financial management
through grants, (iv) definition of sub-zones, and (v) support to community water governance.
• Conflict Resolution: MOCAPH, through purchase order granted by GEMA, has hired an expert to agree on a
conflict resolution protocol with the advice of the Life Project Organization, in coordination with PUCA
Community Foundation, MAPANCE Municipal Association and ASOMAINCUPACO.
• Conflict Solved: Technical assistance provided to the Municipal Government of La Iguala, Lempira and ICF in the
resolution of conflict originated by the opposition of the Lenca Indigenous Council of the Community of Los
26
Llanos, to continue with the process of declaration of the “Monte Verde/Conal” micro watershed (which will
supply water to the Quioco, Guadalupe and Llano Largo communities). The declaration process was presented
by GEMA to the local actors convened by the municipality. All questions were answered, and the meeting was
concluded with the signing of the Commitment Act that guarantees that the local Indigenous Council maintains
legal tenure over the plots of land that make up the micro watershed, as well as the right to use water without
jeopardizing the supply of the communities that already benefit from it.
• Environmental Awareness: Developed the 1st Environmental Fair in the Municipality of San Isidro, Intibucá, with
100 students from Alturas Basic Education Center, 20 teachers and representatives of the San Isidro and Peña
Blanca JAAs. The forum “The Role of Civil Society in the Provision of Water” took place during the event.
• Measurement of Water Governance: GEMA technicians and implementing partners have planned the application
of the Water Governance Measurement tool in coordination with GOAL. The people trained will use the tool
and knowledge acquired to develop action plans to improve water governance in micro watersheds. Participants
have been identified and measurement tools have been defined.
• Water Governance Studies: Prepared the preliminary short version of the Water Governance Study in the El
Chiflador / Guaralape micro watershed in coordination with GOAL. Once the methodological structure has
been completed, the short versions of the other 3 studies developed for the Río Blanco micro watershed in
Santa Bárbara (Lago de Yojoa area); Anillo Verde in La Esperanza (Anillo Verde area); and municipality of Talgua
will be prepared.
• Technical Assistance: Provided technical assistance for the development of 14 Grant Aplications with an
approach on water governence in the GEMA areas of influence. The following institutions were adviced within

• Simplification of certification processes for Private Natural Reserves (RNP): Developed 3 meetings with experts
to support and advise the ICF (DAPVS and General Secretary) to simplify the RNP certification process and to
identify incentives for private conservation. As a result, the guidelines for the design of a legal proposal adjusted
to more agile and simple processes for the management of protected areas and private nature reserves were
established. The meetings were held with the support and specialized technical guidance of the Budget Support
Program for the Forest Sector (PAPSFOR) implemetned by the ICF. The consultant will prepar a proposal
document for the ICF with the inputs generated in these meetings.
• RNP Management plans: Two (2) discussion meetings were held between GEMA, MOCAPH and ICF to define a
methodological guide for the preparation of RNP management plans. Simultaneously, field work has begun to
update the information of 8 sites located in points of Anillo Verde, El Jilguero and Lago de Yojoa. This activity is
part of the work approach of the GEMA - MOCAPH purchase order.
• Potential RNPs: Follow-up to the Regional Cooperative of Organic Farmers of La Sierra (RAOS) to complement
the requirements and make adjustments to the technical sheets of the 2 sites with potential for an RNP process.
• RNP Certification: Obtained the certification for RNP El Consejero. Also, along with ICF, GEMA gave technical-
legal support to 12 RNP certification processes which are currently in different stages (6 in La Esperanza and 6
in Santa Rosa de Copán). Table 8 presents the 37 initiatives GEMA has worked on to this date and the stages
they are currently on. Table 7 enlists the 12 RNPs that the Activity has worked on during Q10. Also, Figure 6

de Otoro, 1 technician in regulation and control of Marcala, COPECO technicians, ADEC technicians and UMAs
of Chinacla, San José and Marcala. These key actors provide technical assistance to the JAAs in the area.
• Water quality: Validated the location of farms of coffee producers that contaminate bodies of water. In addition,
water quality was sampled at key contamination áreas in the Quebrada de Balas, Las Vegas, Santa Bárbara micro
watershed. Technicians from R1 and R2 coordinated actions to support the implementation of the initiative for
the installation of small retention works for organic matter from coffee processing, which will be executed by
GEMA in this area.
• Coordination and training: Coordinated field work with the Health Regional Office, MAMUNI, ADEC, TRC and
Municipalities to sample quality and quantity of water. Agreed to hold regular meetings to coordinate activities
in the potable water sector. In addition, it was established that the results of the laboratory analyses of water
quality will be channeled through the Environmental Thematic Table for decision making in the municipality of
Santiago Puringla, La Paz. In the process 15 technitian from these institutions were trained.
• Monitoring of water quality: Carried out water quality monitoring using the free chlorine technique in
coordination with the JAAs in the Cumes, Sirima, and Mixcure micro watersheds, and in the San José area of El
Jilguero. It was established that assistance will be provided to 14 JAAs in Santiago Puringla to work on of quality,
quantity and chlorination of water.
• Data Management: Provided technical advice to ADEC to upload water quality data of 97 drinking water systems
in Google MyMaps. The Agua de Honduras platform was also presented as a work tool that they can also adopt
to manage their databases. The following data was entered: pH, conductivity E, turbidity, total dissolved solids
(TDS), flow rate, number of subscribers, monthly rate.
• Use of information: Planned a training event on water quality addressed to technicians who are part of the
network of actors of the regional office of La Esperanza, so they will use the information of quality and quantity
of water to improve the water management.

ACTIVITIES
Main actions during Q10
Agroforestry Livelihoods Grants:
• Approved and adjusted the proposal presented by COMUCAP for the execution of the Project: “Conservation
of biodiversity and improvement of water quality- coffee pulp and waste water”, to be executed in the six
departments in western Honduras starting January 2019.
• Approved and adjusted the proposal presented by COCEPRADII for the execution of the project: “Sustainable
management of coffee farms and water governance in the Rio Grande de Otoro sub watershed”, starting January
2019.
• Two new grants for the coffee sector begun implementation. The first is the “Sustainable Production of Coffee
in the micro watersheds benefited by the Güisayote Protected Area”, implemented by Rainforest Alliance in
consortium with BECAMO. The second, “Technical assistance for coffee producers in the Las Vueltas, Urungo
and Yaguis micro watersheds”, in the Montecillos sub watershed, implemented by ASIDE. Combined both
projects include 1,000 producers into the coffee value chain in the Montecillos and Güisayote work areas.
Sales:
During Q10 total sales were reported for US including the value chains of cocoa, coffee and avocado
in five grants. The data shown below represents advances in crop sales from October to December 2018, meaning
that it is just one part of the potential sales for all three chains, especially coffee, for harvesting season ends in March
2019.
Table 7. New net sales of conservation enterprises
• Full Time Equivalent Jobs (FTEs): During Q10, 279 FTEs were generated, from which 83 (30%) have been given
to women. There is a higher generation of FTEs in the coffee industry during its productive cycle (September-
March).

promotion of birdwatching executed by ASHO; and, development of capacities in microenterprises and
44
entrepreneurs to offer nature and adventure sports and activities to tourists in a safe, nature-friendly way,
executed by HUPA.
• New tourism enterprises: Thirty (30) trainees of the tour guide certification program decided to create seven
(7) microenterprises to offer their professional services. The establishment of these enterprises is still in
progress; hence it is not yet recorded as a result in this and other indicators (1.1.1., 1.1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.1.2)
• Business Development Program executed by the CDEs:
o Supported the commercialization of products from 76 micro-enterprises, through their participation in 10
events: (i) 3 business meetings, (ii) 4 festivals, (iii) 2 activities to exchange experiences, and (iv) a marketing
tour.
o Developed new business practices in 158 microenterprises in the following areas: (i) environmental
awareness, (ii) legalization, (iii) accounting and administration, (iv) product design, (v) construction of
business models, (vi) technical-vocational workshops to produce food and beverages through individual
technical assistance, and (vii) 23 collective workshops (average attendance: 20 people per workshop).
o 42 enterprises (of a total of 63 reported in indicator 1.3.2) have reviewed and validated environmental plans.
During this period, we have done 28 measurements of clean production indicators for microenterprises in
the program. These measurements have implied: gathering and organizing data on production/services,
energy consumption, raw material and inputs, generation of residues and emissions, and processes used to
identify energy or raw material wastes.
o Accompanied CDE Lempa during 3 days of reforestation, startin Octuber 16th, during which 2,800 trees
were planted with 40 micro-enterprises of the program. This was done as part of the actions that contribute
to conservation according to their environmental plans. We prioritized activities in the areas of Opatoro,
Guajiquiro, Marcala, Santiago de Puringla, Cerro San Cristobal and the water producing areas of Mesas and
Los Mangos in the municipality of Yamaranguila. ICF joined the process, as well as young members of the

of English for 16 women who are part of the group of 29 young people being certified as local guides for the
western area in CUROC-UNAH. By the end of the program, these 16 women will have new skills for their
economic growth through tourism.
Negotiation of 4 new grants
• The program, “Equipment provision to ecological microenterprises in wester Honduras,” was develop and
approved by COR. Three local organizations will implement the program starting second quarter 2019. This
program focuses on the reduction of firewood consumption and thus, the impact on the forest resource, it
improves the production process, increases the quality of products and reduces production costs. At least 70%
of the microenterprises that benefit from this program are led by women. Enterprises from the business
development program (90) have been taken into consideration, as well as new enterprises (120).
• Provided technical assistance for the design of an intervention proposal for the natural fiber value chain to be
executed with the Hibueras Cultural Center named "Resilience and innovation of the value chain of crafts in 12
municipalities of Santa Bárbara " The proposal will benefit:
o 312 producers, in the implementation of agroecological practices that contribute to the conservation and
improvement of productivity of fiber crops.
o 100 artisans, who will be supported with designs, best practices and work tools.
o 100 young people, who will be part of an entrepreneurial program to stimulate the generational change in
the different links that make up the chain, and,
o 80% access to productive inputs for women.
Pottery Value Chain
• Pottery value chain: With GOAL’s support, finished a first draft of the study of the pottery value chain. According
to the sample, 100% of the producers are women of whom 95% identify themselves as descendants of the Lenca
ethnic group, and recon that pottery is their main economic activity. The lack of technology and availability of
mud mines to satisfy medium and long-term production are two of the main problems identified for the
development of this chain. In the short term, we support artisans in the program by equipping them with more
efficient firewood ovens.
