About Us, the Project, and the Partner

Cuso International

Cuso International is an international cooperation and development organization working to create economic and social opportunities for marginalized groups. We focus on advancing gender equality, social inclusion, improving economic resilience, and supporting climate action. Founded in 1961, we operate in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada.

We seek individuals who share our values and are committed to supporting marginalized groups, including LGBTQIA+ communities.

Project - Sharing Canadian Expertise for Inclusive Development and Gender Equality (SHARE)

Cuso International will deliver the SHARE project, supported by Global Affairs Canada (GAC), from 2020 to 2027. SHARE aims to improve the well-being of the most marginalized, especially women and girls, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals. The project also seeks to increase Canadian engagement in international development and enhance the performance of partner countries in delivering inclusive, innovative, and sustainable initiatives that promote gender equality, aligned with Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy.

Partner - Asociación Nacional de Industriales (ANDI)

The National Association of Industrialists of Honduras (ANDI), founded in 1958 in Tegucigalpa, emerged as a response of the industrial sector to the rise of unions after the 1954 strike during Ramón Villeda Morales' regime.

As a non-profit organization, ANDI's mission is to advocate for and assist companies in the industrial sector, safeguard their rights, and promote industrial growth. It aims to strengthen the sector through initiatives, management facilitation, and industrial development services. ANDI is known for its leadership in enhancing competitiveness and contributing to Honduras' sustainable and comprehensive development.
