Besides medical personnel training, a total of 264 participants from Honduras received training from the TaiwanICDF’s Professional Workshops, and a total of 170 Honduras students received International Higher Education Scholarships and studied in Taiwan.

The TaiwanICDF’s other ongoing projects in the country include the Healthy Seed Potato Production Project, the Healthy Avocado Seedling Production Project, and other regional projects including the Strengthening the Control of Huanglongbing (HLB) and the Implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Citrus Project, the TaiwanICDF-CABEI Technological and Vocational Education and Training Student Loan Fund, the Regional Lending Program for Coffee Rust in Central America, and the Capability Enhancement in Using Geographic Information Systems in Central America.
