Having achieved fundamental milestones
in terms of representative democracy and institutional
modernization, Honduras continues to face important
challenges in its bid to provide public services with
coverage and quality commensurate with the resources
available to the country. Honduras has come a long way in
its democratic development, with seven free elections held
since 1981 and the military subordinated to civilian
control. Since the 1980s, the country has undertaken key
public sector management reforms and has all of the formal
components of a modern democracy. However, its average rate
of economic growth and its degree of progress in reducing
poverty over the past two decades have been low relative to
most other Latin American countries, at this growth rate,
Honduras will reach the current income per capita of El
Salvador ($2,530) in 2050. Efficiency of public spending
continues to be very low compared to regional standards, and
the capacity of the public administration insufficient for
ensuring the minimum goal of universal coverage of basic
services. A general conclusion, highlighted throughout the
study, is the need to strengthen the country's
accountability framework and in particular, the
accountability of policymakers towards citizens and tax
payers, and to focus the policy discussion on performance. |
