During 2025, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua continued to face a complex humanitarian situation caused by poverty, food insecurity, violence, and the impact of climate change on agriculture.

Action Against Hunger reached more than 70,000 people in the three countries with emergency aid and ongoing development programmes. The “Climate Resilience Led by Women” initiative delivered impressive results: multiple cooperatives introduced new internal policies, and agreements were made in Guatemala and Honduras to provide technical assistance and improve market access.

Innovation funds were also created in seven cooperatives focused on coffee, honey, and staple grains. Participants also benefited from training and research exploring agriculture and the connection between migration, remittances, and investment. All together, 3,050 individuals took part in these activities.

In the Dry Corridor, 11,438 people received support during a period of seasonal hunger, helping reduce the rate of households facing moderate or severe food insecurity from 70 per cent to 12 per cent.

In Honduras, stricter regional policies reduced south-to-north migration, but moderate flows persisted, along with an increase in north-to-south returns by land. Despite limited funding, vital services continued—covering health, nutrition, protection, mental health, and WASH—with 42,615 direct interventions provided. Furthermore, 446 households (mostly women at 86 per cent) received cash transfers, and 143 families affected by violence were given direct assistance.

To address shrinking resources for humanitarian operations, Action Against Hunger refined its strategy, focussing efforts on the most vulnerable areas, strengthening local partnerships, and streamlining internal processes to maintain high-quality aid and maximise impact.
