Due to its geographical location, Honduras has become a country of transit for irregular migrants. According to the National Migration Institute (INM in Spanish), between 2014 and 2021 , around 122,971 migrants entered the country irregularly at the southern border. Among those people, 8,453 were children and adolescents. The increase in migrants entering irregularly in the country has posed several challenges, notably in terms of effective reception and inclusive care for this population, especially for those in a vulnerable state needing international protection. The Government of Honduras has established mechanisms for the reception and attention of this population, however, the growing demand for legal counselling, inclusive care and protection, especially for those in a vulnerable state, has generated the urgent need to establish more adequate spaces and to strengthen the capacities of government officials. In this regard, the objective of the project is to support the Government of Honduras to improve the management of irregular migrants, at the southern border, with a gender and human rights approach, increasing reception capacities, providing inclusive care, promoting coordination among actors and use of referral mechanisms to enhance the protection of migrants. In particular, this will be achieved through 1) the establishment of a training centre for government officials, in order to improve knowledge management, use and sharing ; 2) the refurbishment of reception, attention and referral spaces with a gender and human rights approach to allow for an inclusive care of migrants, and; 3) the strengthening of collaboration and coordination capacities among the INM and other key actors at the southern border to improve attention, protection and assistance provided to irregular migrants through the development of a roadmap.
