The project's objective is to improve the health conditions of the rural population at risk of vector-transmitted diseases through support to the Honduran National Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Chagas Disease and Leishmaniasis. The purpose is to support reduction or elimination of the transmission of Chagas and Leishmaniasis diseases and to facilitate access to necessary treatment for vulnerable, priority populations. In coordination with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Global Affairs Canada provides technical and financial support to the Honduran Ministry of Health in the implementation of its Strategy, while at the same time, it develops the Ministry's institutional capacity to manage its vector-borne disease programs as a whole.
