The Statistics Division of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) provided training to the team of the Department of Economic and Social Studies at the Secretariat for Strategic Planning (SPE) of Honduras. The training focused on implementing the international methodology for assessing progress towards the targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the application of a traffic light system to classify results.

The activity, carried out between April and May 2025 in collaboration with ECLAC’s Subregional Headquarters in Mexico, included presentations and reviews of various progress evaluation methodologies, as well as hands-on working sessions to apply and validate the methodology using a set of indicators previously selected and validated by the country.

Tools were provided to define baselines, determine trend directionality, and establish thresholds for each indicator. Additionally, the international methodology was applied to estimate expected values for 2030, assess progress, and classify indicators and targets based on the results obtained.

Honduras has demonstrated a strong commitment to the 2030 Agenda, having submitted three Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development to date. In its most recent report, presented in 2024, the Government of Honduras reaffirmed its dedication to the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, identifying ten national priority areas: poverty and inequality reduction, establishment of secure food, water, and sanitation systems, improvement of the public health system, strengthening of the education sector, macroeconomic stability and job insertion, universal access to energy, gender equality, state strengthening, prevention of high climate-risk events, and inclusive digital transformation.
