Overview
Honduras is one of three Northern Triangle Countries in Central America that has experienced significant challenges in recent years. In response to the 2014 crisis of child migration, Honduras has joined with its neighbors to develop a forward-looking plan to address the economic and security needs that are motivating migration. The Plan for Prosperity in the Northern Triangle seeks to address the drivers of migration by encouraging investment in infrastructure and energy projects, improving public security, strengthening justice systems and building public confidence in state institutions.
