  • Tables and Figures for: Development in the Americas 2016
    Dataset

    By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    This dataset contains the tables and figures for the 2016 edition of Development in the Americas. Book description: Why should people--and economies--save? The typical answer usually focuses on the need to protect against future shocks, to smooth consumption during hard times, in short, to save for the proverbial rainy day. This book approaches the question from a slightly different angle. While saving to survive the bad times is important, saving to thrive in the good times is what really counts. People must save so they can invest in their own and their children's health and education, live productive fulfilling lives, and end their days in comfort and peace. Firms must save so they can grow productive enterprises that employ more workers in better jobs to produce quality goods for domestic and international markets. Governments must save to build bridges, highways, and airports that support a productive economy, to provide quality services such as education, health, water, and...

  • Data associated with: Urban Integration and Coexistence Program: Results of the Pairing Strategy
    Dataset

    By Housing and Urban Development Division (VPS/CSD/HUD)
    This dataset is associated with the publication "Urban Integration and Coexistence Program: Results of the Pairing Strategy" (Related publication only available in Spanish). The report presents the results of a pilot program for comprehensive neighborhood improvement, focusing on indicators such as crime and security, women’s empowerment, optimism, household activities, and access to basic services. The pilot program served as the foundation for the development of the Urban Integration and Coexistence Program (PICU) and was implemented in two neighborhoods of the Central District of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The program did not achieve the expected outcomes regarding women’s empowerment. Treated women continue to request permission from their partners at a higher rate, and no significant impact was observed on decision-making. On a positive note, the program appears to have had a favorable effect on women’s decisions regarding the number of children to have. This suggests that women...

  • Transmission Risk Assessment Checklist
    Dataset

    By Agriculture and Rural Development Division (VPS/PTI/ARD)
    The series of documents includes general recommendations to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the tourism sector, as well as specific recommendations for different tourist subsectors and spaces (accommodations, restaurants, local transport, beaches, airports and ports). It also includes recommendations for managing prevention protocols and specific tools to minimize transmission. The series is derived from an evaluation-diagnosis exercise that determined the adequacy of the current biosafety protocols against COVID-19 in a set of tourism subsectors, identifying the main nodes of risk of contagion throughout the service provision process. The series is made up of 10 documents: Reading Guide, R01 General Recommendations, R02.1-R02.5 Specific Recommendations by Subsector (tourist accommodation, restaurants, local transport, beaches, ports and airports), R03 Recommendations for Managing Prevention Protocols, and E02.1-E02.2 Specific Tools to Minimize Transmission.

  • Urban Integration and Coexistence Program: Baseline Report (Dataset) 2014
    Dataset

    By Housing and Urban Development Division (VPS/CSD/HUD)
    This report summarizes the housing and socioeconomic data collected through the Beneficiary Survey of the Neighborhood Improvement Programs conducted in 2014. The survey covered all households in the 11 neighborhoods of the Central District of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where the first phase of the Urban Integration and Coexistence Program (PICU) - HO-L1088 is planned for implementation. The analysis of descriptive characteristics highlights the main public service needs of these communities, as well as the overall condition of the neighborhoods. Additionally, the socioeconomic characterization of the households provides insights into the health, education, sociability, and intra-family relationships of their members. This information helps design targeted social policies addressing these specific areas in the neighborhoods.
