Next week, I have the opportunity to travel as a part of the CityLinks team for the launch of our first pilot partnership in Honduras to share exciting updates with our readers. Throughout the course of the week, I’ll be posting blog entries and photos, so stay tuned!

The purpose of the pilot partnership is to provide local government officials with the resources to combat crime in their communities. We will employ the CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) methodology, which improves conditions for citizen security while also addressing risks associated with the effects of climate change.

We are traveling to the two cities involved in the partnership, La Ceiba and Choloma, to meet with each of the mayors and solidify memorandums of understanding. We will also go to Tegucigalpa to meet with the Honduran Social Investment Fund (FHIS), one of our implementing partners.

Don’t forget to follow us on twitter @ICMACityLinks for more photos and news about our activities!
