National Blueprint · One of 195

Honduras

A nation of 11.0 million where citizens abroad send home three tenths of the economy, two thirds of the power is renewable, and the World Bank finances roads and transparency.

Perfect Nations values what Honduras owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

    The Forest

    Standing forest that stores carbon and water, and can earn as it stands.

  • 64.9%Of electricity from renewable sources, 2021

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Honduras. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where education is furthest from reach should borrow on a Program-for-Results basis, releasing each tranche only when pupils reach an agreed learning level, verified independently. With super intelligence, reading levels can be tracked school by school, so that every child who falls behind is reached in time.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsHonduras

Dear Honduras,

Hondurans abroad send home three tenths of your economy, half your land is forest, and two thirds of your power is renewable.

Read more

Yet on the 2019 data, 79.3% of your children could not read a simple text by the end of primary school, and 60.1% of you live below the national poverty line. Let the roads the World Bank is building lead to schools where every child learns to read.

“Let every new road lead to a school where every child reads.”

Yours in design,Preeti SinhaPresident and CEO, Perfect Nations
