Additional Context: According to the Women's Refugee Commission, Honduras has been one of the countries in the region most affected by recent U.S. funding withdrawals, largely due to its heavy reliance on international assistance. In 2024 alone, it received $193 million in assistance from the U.S., accounting for nearly three quarters of all foreign assistance Honduras received that year. The foreign assistance cuts have disrupted many vital services across the country.

This Women's Refugee Commission's report analyzes the effects of U.S. foreign assistance cuts, gender-based violence programming, and migration in Honduras. The authors conducted a desk review of secondary sources, and conducted fieldwork in Honduras between April and May 2025. A total of 25 interviews were conducted with representatives from organizations working on gender-based violence and migration issues across the country.

Devex Researcher Note: The authors of this report used $186 million in total U.S. assistance to Honduras in fiscal year 2024. According to ForeignAssistance.gov, more recent numbers show just over $193 million was obligated in 2024 to Honduras.
