OECD Public Governance Reviews: Honduras
Inclusive and Effective Governance for Better Outcomes
The OECD Public Governance Review of Honduras offers recommendations to strengthen the effectiveness, coherence and openness of the country’s public sector, and in particular its centre of government. It first provides an overview of Honduras’s public sector and assesses its performance across interrelated dimensions. It then examines important public governance areas such as the role of the centre of government in policy co-ordination, results-based management in government, efforts to build a sound monitoring and evaluation system, and the design and implementation of open government in Honduras. The recommendations of this report seek to support Honduras in the adoption of an inclusive and outcome-oriented approach to public governance capable of delivering better results for its citizens.

Open Government in Honduras: Towards Effective Implementation
This chapter analyses the open government agenda in Honduras within the broader context of ongoing public sector reforms, placing special emphasis on the government’s ambition to increase public sector transparency. The chapter finds that Honduras has made important progress in establishing rules, governance and implementation frameworks. Notably, the country has been implementing Open Government Partnership (OGP) action plans for many years and its ambition to build an open state has been expressed through the adoption of an Open State Declaration. However, Honduras faces several challenges with regard to open government delivering its promise of a more transparent, accountable and participatory government, in particular relating to a lack of proper implementation and evaluation.
