The Public Ministry of Honduras received information technology and furniture that will ensure safe transfer of information between public prosecutor's offices in select municipalities and the head office, and protection against cyberattacks and power interruptions across the country. The technological equipment will enhance technical capacities and management capabilities throughout the institution.

 

The InfoSegura Regional Project, a joint UNDP and USAID initiative, has worked for the last five years with the Public Ministry and the institutions responsible for citizen security, justice and community life in Honduras, providing specialized technical support for information management in matters of citizen security and coexistence.


This donation and training will go to 21 municipal level public prosecutor's offices, including the following: Catacamas, Tocoa, Trujillo, Puerto Cortés, Santa Bárbara, Quimistán, Danlí (main building), Talanga, Olanchito, Yoro, Nacaome, Roatán, Puerto Lempira, Tegucigalpa (Public prosecutor's office and main building), Bajo Aguán (UNBIVA, Tocoa), Santa Rosa de Copán (Forensic Medicine), Choloma, Juticalpa, Ocotepeque and San Pedro Sula (Forensic Medicine).


“The UNDP continues to support the Public Ministry with the best technological tools to streamline and interconnect its operations. Investigative work and the efficient collection and management of information and data are a central to the Ministry’s work and an important part of the value chain in the fight against crime. Therefore, we support institutions to build capacities and competencies in the work for justice and security, pillars of a robust Rule of Law,” stated Rose Diegues, UNDP Resident Representative a.i. in Honduras.


The initiative supports the expansion and interconnection of the Results-Based Prosecutor Management System (SIGEFI-RI) at this national institution. The US$ 131,093 donation includes servers, firewalls, electrical power supplies, furniture and equipment, as well as training in the use of the equipment for the institution’s technical staff.
