Honduras' Congress will investigate institutions using USAID funds

Honduras' National Congress will investigate how national institutions used funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). This follows USAID's closure due to corruption allegations. The investigation, led by a special parliamentary commission, will examine which institutions received USAID funds, the intended purpose of the funds, and whether those goals were met. Concerns exist about potential misuse of funds by NGOs, some receiving millions annually without tangible results. The investigation aims to ensure transparency and determine if funds were used for political agendas or to destabilize the state. The commission will also assess if funds supported agendas against national interests, with legal repercussions possible.
