In the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch in
1998, the Honduras Interactive Environmental Learning and
Science Promotion Project "Profuturo" was launched
as a multi-sectoral effort designed to encourage and expand
scientific, environmental, and cultural knowledge and
management in the context of Honduras' sustainable
development needs and ethnic diversity. Profuturo benefits
Hondurans by providing higher quality scientific education,
improved environmental management, human capital
development, and poverty reduction through a better
qualified labor force. Specifically, Profuturo is a pro-poor
effort to address some of the long-term needs of
Honduras' education sector, the concern for sustainable
environmental development, and archeological site
rehabilitation in order to expand the country's tourism
potential, especially in the Copan Region. Within these
objectives, the project supports the planning, design, and
construction of a US$ 4.9 million Interactive Learning
Center - Chiminike - to be inaugurated in June 2003, when it
will become autonomous (from the Government), functioning
under the private Profuturo Foundation. Chiminike was
conceived as an unconventional and non-formal educational
facility dedicated to sustainable development. Among other
components, the project supports staff and volunteer
capacity building and the development of environmental
managements plans. |
