Inter-institutional Commission against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents
The Interinstitutional Commission against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents was commissioned to formulate the National Plan of Action against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents in Honduras. Fifty-two organizations were sworn in in 2004 by the President of the National Congress as members of the Commission, including representatives of the National Congress, the Supreme Court of Justice, different state secretariats, non-governmental organizations, and international cooperation agencies. The Commission also takes the necessary actions to ensure the effective implementation and fulfillment of this plan. As a result of its intervention, Honduras approved the reform of the Criminal Code in order to punish the crimes of commercial sexual exploitation appropriately; train justice and civil society managers; place the topic in the public agenda; and formulate and approve the National Action Plan against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Girls, Boys and Adolescents.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
