Quarterly Performance Report: July – September 2018

The program began in 2018 and focuses on five key results: increased number of at-risk youth receiving secondary prevention services, increased support services provided for eligible youth and their families, establishment of a cadre of family counselors, strengthening of alternative justice measures, and establishment of a community-based secondary prevention model. Implementation of the program involved training over 2,500 farmers in sustainable agriculture techniques, with demonstration plots showing yield improvements of 60% when applying the recommended practices. The program also established a cadre of family counselors, with over 100 counselors trained in the first year.

The program also provided training and certification to over 500 youth and families, with a 27% increase in household income among program participants compared to the control group. The program's geographic focus was on the Central District, San Pedro Sula and Choloma, La Ceiba and Tela, with a total of 15 municipalities targeted.
