CRGR develops a response project to support families affected by Hurricane IOTA in Nicaragua and Honduras.

The Regional Network for Risk Management in Central America (CRGR) signed a response project with the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, through the Salvadoran Association for Humanitarian Aid PRO-VIDA to support families affected by Hurricane IOTA in Nicaragua and Honduras .

As a result of an analysis of the effects of Iota in the region, the membership of the RNetwork for Risk Management recognized that the most affected countries were: Nicaragua and Honduras, therefore this proposal is directed to these two countries.

This project lasts for 4 months and will cover the urgent needs as an immediate response to 1,565 families (10,500 people, of which 51% are women), belonging to highly affected communities in Honduras (La Lima, Omoa, San Manuel, Tocoa , Juticalpa, Olanchito, Trojes and Marcovia); and Nicaragua (Wiwilí, Jinotega, Pantasma, Condega, Pueblo Nuevo, Telpaneca and Sébaco).

The organizations implemented in the countries of intervention will be the National Advocacy Board for Risk Management in Honduras and the National Board for Risk Management in Nicaragua, national networks members of the CRGR.

As part of the project actions, the delivery of a food package, cash transfer for food and nutritional security and economic reactivation, distribution of an environmental sanitation kit and tools and equipment to promote hygiene and environmental sanitation are contemplated.

These humanitarian action initiatives are developed efficiently and from an inter-institutional response through local organizations that are in the front line. The experience developed and the capacities installed in the humanitarian leadership of the CRGR and its partners have made it possible to carry out monitoring actions, early warnings, evacuation, attention to emergencies and rehabilitation of livelihoods for communities at risk from a comprehensive approach.
