The Center has undertaken a project to monitor the Mission to Support the Fight against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH). This project aims聽to analyze the Organization of American States (OAS)-sponsored Mission鈥檚 work and enhanced聽public understanding of the MACCIH and its performance. Under the direction of School of International Service Professor Charles Call and a team of senior researchers, this effort strives to understand MACCIH in the context of anti-corruption and impunity initiatives in Honduras and beyond.

The project delivered聽regular reports, which provide聽updates and analyses of the work of MACCIH that are available online in Spanish and English;聽and analytic papers, beginning with one report that analyzes聽MACCIH鈥檚 first two years of operations, which was presented at聽a public event in Honduras in June 2018 and at the Inter-American Dialogue in Washington, DC in July 2018. Sources for these products include聽news articles, tweets, press conferences, as well as private interviews with key informants inside and outside Honduras. Project researchers also engaged independent observers, journalists, and academics; government officials of Honduras, the United States, and other countries; Honduran and U.S.- based non-governmental organizations; and officials of the OAS and MACCIH. The project was funded by Open Society Foundations.

Project lead Professor Call authored a report that examines MACCIH's progress聽and challenges in the past two years since its inception. Halfway through its four-year mandate, MACCIH scored some important successes but confronted聽growing sabotage from segments of Honduras鈥檚 political elite determined to undermine the Mission鈥檚 work. The report was launched in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on June 21, 2018 in front of an audience of nearly 200. The report is available for download in English and Spanish:
