Details

USAID/Honduras manages around 32 locally awarded activities, with a combined ceiling of over $632 million dollars, as well as several other regional or Washington-based awards. Programs cover Citizen Security, Democracy and Governance, Economic Growth, and Anti-Corruption and Transparency. As one of USAID main goals is prevention of irregular migration, activities are focused on communities that are the sources of migration. Some activities are explicitly focused on, and are implementing activities in, insecure areas largely controlled by gangs. Others are working in remote mountainous areas, posing a risk of isolating events due to poor network coverage and/or vehicle breakdowns. The Administrative Management Specialist (Partner Liaison Security Specialist) is located within the USAID/Honduras Executive Office and supports USAID programs and activities on a diverse range of operational issues, reporting directly to the Supervisory Executive Specialist (Deputy Executive Officer).
