(MENAFN- Caribbean News Global) LONDON, England – Honduras officially launched a new national strategy to tackle organised crime, developed with technical assistance from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and partial funding from the United Kingdom.

The strategy was created using UNODC's“Organised Crime Strategy Toolkit,” supported by the UK Home Office's Integrated Security Fund. This toolkit helps countries build comprehensive frameworks to prevent and combat organised crime, emphasising principles of prevention, protection, prosecution, and institutional strengthening.

Collaboration began after a regional meeting in Bangkok in February 2022, where Honduras requested UNODC's support. Since then, the country has worked closely with UNODC to develop a strategy that integrates gender, human rights, and a holistic approach to crime prevention.

This initiative reflects Honduras's commitment to coordinated, sustainable action against organised crime and aligns with the UK's support for the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.
