Municipal Council for Educational Development (COMDE)
The Municipal Councils for Educational Development (Span. COMDE) are participatory agencies at the municipal level that contribute to educational management, while formulating and coordinating strategic plans that aim to achieve goals and improve educational indicators. The councils bring together different stakeholders at the municipal level. They are made up by representatives of the municipality and of civil society organizations, and members from boards of directors. They are in charge of formulating and coordinating the elaboration, execution and monitoring of the strategic educational plan of the municipality. These councils aim to strengthen public education through community participation in order to promote the improvement of the quality of education. By 2016, 21 Municipal Councils were recognized in Honduras.
