interest in, thus is highly
likely there will be
significant profits when
opened.
Jun-13 Due to its recent
inauguration, it is still too
early to assess the
sustainability of this OC;
however this OC has a
strong partner that assures
that the OC will be
sustainable.
Based on these evaluations, five more of the original OCs are now considered
sustainable, that is 23 out of 25 (92%). With nine of the new OCs from the AJH period
maintaining their sustainable status, this brings the sustainable OCs to 32, out of the
40 OCs (80%). This ratio exceeds the set target of 75%; however this indicator has
been affected by the OCs which are not fully operational or have not been opened.
The OCs which is too early to evaluate the sustainability of are:
OC Municipality Status
Concepcion Choloma In partial operation, pending inauguration
Zapote Norte MDC In partial operation, pending inauguration
Morales San Pedro Sula In partial operation, pending inauguration
Sandoval Sorto San Pedro Sula In partial operation, pending inauguration
Estados Unidos MDC In development, not operating
The Estados Unidos OC (MDC) replaces the Suyapa OC from La Ceiba as one of the
OCs that will receive US$25,000.00 in funding for equipment from FHIS. This change
was agreed upon by AJH and FHIS and was officially communicated with USAID.
The Estados Unidos OC will be implemented by World Vision and will count on the
support of the Multisectoral Committee (Mesa Interinstitucional) of the San Miguel
district, where the Estados Unidos community is located. The OC is expected to open
in August.
Based on the commitments from its partners, the Zapote Norte and Estados Unidos
OCs, although they have not yet officially opened, are considered to be on a good
course towards sustainability. The Zapote Norte OC has actively engaged the
community and has already begun several workshops with members of the OC.
Other OCs which will receive support in the form of $500 monthly donations from
FHIS are: Rivera Hernandez and San José in San Pedro Sula; San Jose and Primero
de Mayo in La Ceiba, and Nueva Capital and Flor del Campo in the Central District.
