Book excerpt: Honduras: A Territorial Approach to Development presents an innovative approach to address the development challenges of the country. The document first describes the main challenges to inclusive development in Honduras identified by IDB technical staff, which results in a proposal for a Spatial Economic Strategy (SES) developed with the company GeoAdaptive LLC. The Strategy extends across and connects the entire territory, taking advantage of sectoral synergies for enhancing productivity and breaking the established inequality and poverty cycles. This innovative approach seeks to break away from the traditional sector-approach and proposes comprehensive interventions that would enable key stakeholders to maximize synergies and the impact of their actions.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of the implementation of a territorial model of development in the Yeguare Region of Honduras. The research questions look to determine the impact of the territorial approach for each of its major components: (a) youth development, (b) gender roles (c) sustainable livelihoods and (d) territoriality. The purpose was achieved through the following research questions: (a) What has been the impact of the youth participation and vocational education for the youth in the Yeguare Region?; (b) What has been the impact of the territorial approach on the development of the Yeguare Region?; and (c) How has the sustainability of livelihoods of the Yeguare Region been impacted by the territorial approach?. This study used two methods. Quantitative and qualitative methods permitted the gathering and analyzing of different types of project data. The quantitative analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics. The qualitative analysis elaborated and expanded the quantitative analysis. Ten themes related to the impact of the territorial model of development in the Yeguare Region emerged during the research. Youth leadership and entrepreneurship, youth expectations and future plans, and occupational status and welfare of the families were the emergent themes for youth development. Territoriality had the following emergent themes: priorities for local development, design of policies based on the established priorities, inter-institutional alliances, and organizational capabilities in the region. Sustainable livelihoods considered association capabilities, financial services, and welfare of the families as its emergent themes. The contribution of this study to the field of sustainable development was to expand the knowledge about the impacts of a territorial model of development in rural Honduras. Also, policymakers and project stakeholders may use this information to plan, design and implement more effective development programs, and may decrease project expenditures, increase income, and benefit the communities.

P. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2006 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is deep and widespread in Honduras. This is especially the case in the hillside areas-home to one-third of the country's population, the majority of whom earn their living through agriculture. While both policymakers and donors are under strong pressure to provide adequate interventions, they require guidance on what drives sustainable rural productivity growth, how to prioritize expenditures, and how to formulate effective development strategies. In this report, the authors develop an integrated econometric framework, based on the livelihoods concept, and demonstrate how it can be used as a policy targeting tool. Using this framework, the authors provide policymakers and stakeholders with empirical information on the livelihood strategies currently employed in the hillside areas of Honduras, existing opportunities for alleviating poverty, and potential priorities for policy and investments.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special economic zones (SEZs) have proliferated with remarkable speed in the last forty years, reflecting their vital role in the process of global economic neoliberalization. Increasingly privatized and increasingly urban, SEZ regimes have merged with urban real estate development to produce "new city" projects around the globe. In Honduras since the 2009 military coup, Honduran policymakers have partnered with conservative US political advisors, economists, and libertarian venture capitalists from the global "startup city" movement to develop Economic Development and Employment Zones (ZEDEs)-a special jurisdiction with unprecedented judicial, legislative, and economic autonomy. Startup city proponents saw the 2013 ZEDE Law as an opportunity to build "free private cities," "charter cities," and other iterations of libertarian utopian fantasies, while opponents in Honduras saw the ZEDE model as a colonial violation of national sovereignty. This dissertation investigates ZEDE development in Honduras from 2014- 2021, with a focus on the 2014-2017 period, through a "vertical slice" approach. This approach involved 54 oral history and other interviews, archival research, and twenty months of participant observation to examine the process of ZEDE development through the narratives of startup city tech libertarians, Honduran planners and policymakers, and local agriculturalists and fishing families in the southern municipality of Amapala. This dissertation argues that ZEDEs can be understood as a capitalist class strategy of territorial flexibilization that enables new modes of colonialism by outsourcing governance to private and foreign actors. It first describes the implications of the ZEDE model for Honduran territory through analysis of the ZEDE law, the political and ideological project of actors in the startup city movement, and the existing configurations of power and territory in Zacate Grande, Amapala. I identify varying-at times divergent and at times overlapping-imaginaries and discourses of ZEDEs as different actors speak to different audiences in the process of promoting and resisting the ZEDE model. While startup city promotors were the first to invest in actual ZEDE projects, their discourses of experimentation proved to be a liability to pro-ZEDE Hondurans, who stressed territorial cohesion, best practices, order, rule of law, and large infrastructure development over tech-utopian fantasies. Despite settler colonial fantasies of startup city investors, ZEDEs do not fall on blank-slate territory. An ethnographic account of the territorial defense movement in Zacate Grande uses the decades-long land conflict as a lens through which to understand actually existing territory in Honduras pre-ZEDEs, processes of accumulation and dispossession, and the territorial subjectivities that produce acquiescence, resistance, and other reactions to the ZEDE idea. Finally, as the private startup city model begins to gain traction around the world, I offer lessons learned from the Zacate Grande territorial defense movement-the concepts of patrimony, rootedness, and resource citizenship-as potential counterforces to global territorial flexibilization projects.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of megatrends such as globalisation, climate and demographic change, digitalisation and urbanisation, many cities and regions are grappling with critical challenges to preserve social inclusion, foster economic growth and transition to the low carbon economy. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set the global agenda for the coming decade to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. A Territorial Approach to the Sustainable Development Goals argues that cities and regions play a critical role in this paradigm shift and need to embrace the full potential of the SDGs as a policy tool to improve people's lives. The report estimates that at least 105 of the 169 SDG targets will not be reached without proper engagement of sub-national governments. It analyses how cities and regions are increasingly using the SDGs to design and implement their strategies, policies and plans; promote synergies across sectoral domains; and engage stakeholders in policy making. The report proposes an OECD localised indicator framework that measures the distance towards the SDGs for more than 600 regions and 600 cities in OECD and partner countries. The report concludes with a Checklist for Public Action to help policy makers implement a territorial approach to the SDGs.
