Advisory Council for the Poverty Reduction Strategy
The Advisory Council for the Poverty Reduction Strategy is a body created by the Government to provide advice and support to the Social Cabinet on the prioritization of programs and the methodology used to monitor and evaluate the Poverty Reduction Strategy (Span. ERP), as well as recommend concrete actions to improve the effectiveness and transparency of the management and monitoring system (i.e., concrete citizen participation and decentralization processes). Among the members of the Council are the President of the Republic, representatives of 5 State Secretariats, 5 representatives of the civil society, a representative of the Association of Municipalities of Honduras, and two observers from the international community. As of 2016, the internal constraints of the Consultative Council had not succeeded in achieving its purpose of establishing spaces for participation and dialogue between the public authorities and the representative spheres of the civil society.
