Honduras Launches $60 Million Appeal to Address Drought and Food Insecurity

Honduras has launched a humanitarian appeal seeking $60 million to address the impacts of drought in the country. The appeal, made on September 26, 2026, targets 538,000 people across 103 municipalities in the country. The crisis is driven by the Central American Dry Corridor, where agricultural yields are highly vulnerable to weather patterns.

The drought is testing the resilience of the region, which relies on two successful rainy seasons for many crops. The crisis affects key sectors including coffee, sugar, and basic grains. Furthermore, the situation puts pressure on public finances and contributes to migration trends toward the United States and Mexico.
