How Honduras managed to carry out genomic sequencing for the first time
June 2023
When microbiologist Soany Ávilez was selected to implement the genomic sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Honduras, she was amazed. In the wake of the pandemic, Soany had started working at the National Virology Laboratory in 2020 performing PCR tests. At that time, genomic sequencing to detect circulating variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 was carried out outside the country. But a project to provide Honduras with the capabilities to do it in situ and obtain faster results was being developed with technical support from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and financial support from the United States Government.
Although she lacked knowledge on the subject, Soany remembers that she longed for the opportunity to work in sequencing. "When they chose us (her and her partner Karla Romero) to implement sequencing in the country and move the area forward, I couldn't believe it," she says.
Genomic surveillance allows us to know the evolution of viruses and other pathogens as they change over time. Knowing those changes or mutations that can modify its transmissibility and severity, allows us to guide public health measures. During the pandemic, it was a key strategy to monitor the behavior of SARS-CoV-2 and a technique that is being integrated into the surveillance of other pathogens.
Karla Romero, the other microbiologist in charge of genomic surveillance, acknowledges that the implementation of sequencing in Honduras has been "a great challenge" that required a lot of "sacrifice and commitment" both inside and outside the laboratory.
The sequencing area had to be created from scratch. In 2022, the authorities selected and conditioned a space within the National Virology Laboratory. With the support of PAHO, a sequencer, supplies, reagents, and furniture were purchased, and Soany and Karla were trained in bioinformatics and genomic sequencing at the Gorgas Memorial Institute in Panama.
“All with the aim of strengthening the capacities for genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens in Honduras,” says Gabriela Rodriguez Segura, coordinator of the PAHO Project for the Consolidation of Genomic Sequencing Capacities in Honduras. Before these capacities were created at the local level, samples to determine the variants circulating in the country were sent to the laboratories of the Regional Network for Genomic Surveillance of COVID-19 (COVIGEN) created by PAHO to support countries without capacity to carry out sequencing in its territory.
In March 2023, the effort paid off and excitement took over the National Virology Laboratory when, after several attempts, the first sequencing of SARS-COV-2 in the country was successfully carried out. “We couldn't believe it,” says Soany. "We feel very happy because it was a great challenge and the result made us feel fulfilled."
On March 21, 2023, the results were obtained and it was the first time that the XBB sublineage of the omicron variant was detected in the country and by Honduran health professionals. For Karla, the key was “not to give up in the face of the biggest challenge”.
"It is a milestone for the country that genomic sequencing is being carried out," says Dr. Mitzi Castro, head of the National Health Surveillance Laboratory of Honduras. “It is a historic moment because we are starting from here to carry out future genomic surveillance of other pathogens of sanitary interest to the country,” she adds.
According to Dr. Castro, the country now has state-of-the-art technology. "The laboratory is at the forefront, and that is a success and a source of pride, for which we thank all those who have contributed their bit so that Honduras is not left behind."

(1) the front of the camera implement a dobule sliding door. The back door is used to seal the inside chamber from light and it is not intended to be used as a shutter. It will, however, allow to exchange the front door, where the pinhole is attached, when the film is loaded.
(2) and (3) are complementary parts. The hight of them together equals the hight of the whole camera. The first part elevates the film to the right focal length while the second one provides a frame and keeps it in place. There is some black tape in the edges that would provide extra protection from light.
(4) is just used for protecting the film from light. It goes bettween part number (3) and (2). So once the film is installed, the order is, (3) - film - (4) and finally (2). It is made out of thick flexible black paper and the sides will protect the canisters from getting any light from the front.
(5) this is the back, which slides inside of the front. There is no tripod nut installed, I was a bit lazy and didn't add it but it could be done later on.
Implementation of the Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) law in Afghanistan has a long way to go, the United Nations Assistance Mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a report released today. Judicial and law enforcement officials have sporadically implemented the two-year-old law supporting the equality and rights of Afghan women, and the Government has not yet succeeded in applying the law to the vast majority of cases of violence against women.

Empower Women to Counter Terrorism
Erbil, 03 August 2015 – “Women can be powerful poles for positive change and participate in innovative efforts to inform, shape and implement policies and programs to mitigate the effects of conflict and violent radicalization”, said Gyorgy Busztin, Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (DSRSG), at the opening of the two-day National Conference on ‘Empowering Women to Address the Impact of Terrorism’.
The Conference, which brings together key government and United Nations officials, religious leaders, civil society representatives, and representatives of the international community, is jointly organized by the UN, the State Ministry of Women’s Affairs and the Kurdistan Region’s High Council of Women’s Affairs.
The conference will focus on the impact of violent extremism and terrorism on Iraqi women and girls, particularly those from minorities’ communities; empowering women to counter radicalization and combat terrorism; participation of women in social cohesion and reconciliation; creating opportunities to enhance women’s representation and participation in power and decision-making; the role of the media and the internet in countering extremism; effective partnering in implementing frameworks on women, peace and security; and the role of women in building peace.
Moreover, the Conference builds on the regional conference “Women’s Resistance to Extremism and Terrorism and their Struggle for Rights, Peace and Security”, held in May 2015 in Erbil and on the endorsement of the Special Emergency Plan on the Implementation of Security Council Resolution 1325 by the Council of Ministers in May as well. The Special Emergency Plan takes into consideration the impact of the current fight against ISIL on women, peace and security.
“Iraq is particularly well placed to host this conference, being the first country in the Middle East and North Africa region to have a National Action Plan to implement SCR 1325”, said DSRSG Busztin, while underscoring that “within families, women’s traditional roles allow them to shape familial and social norms and promote increased tolerance and non-violent political and civic engagement”.
“Countering terrorism policies need to take into account how terrorism impacts women and to ensure that they do not lead to negative and unintended consequences on women”, he stressed.
It is expected that the conference will adopt a set of recommendations outlining key actions to advance the women, peace and security agenda; ensure women participation in countering terrorism efforts; and prevent and respond to sexual violence in conflict.
The conference is a response to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2178 of September 2014, which called for the first time for the empowerment of women to counter violent extremism.

The implementation of Peace Agreement is undoubtedly compromised and partially derailed says Festus G Mogae Chairperson of Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission during the plenary meeting on October 19, 2016. Despite the challenges he remains hopeful that conditions will improve and the full capacity for implementation will be restored once again.
âThe fighting has disintegrated all the Transitional Security Arrangement Mechanisms, the little that had been accomplished has been lost,â he laments.
Pointing out that the threat of any further violence on such a fragile nation is a failure of leadership and a betrayal of people who deserve better.
Reflecting back to July, he said they have witnessed escalating hostility that has led to near daily violations of the ceasefire and a developing conflict between SPLA-IG and SPLA-IO. âUnfortunate sequence of events has unfolded and a fragile peace has deteriorated into open hostilities.â

Actually, No. Sorry, they were part of a large collection of old irons used for ironing clothes before the days of electricity.
However, they are actually hair dressers tools. They are a type of curling iron used to set ladies hair in a "Marcel Wave". In 1872 Francois Marcel Grateau invented the hairstyle that became known as the "Marcel Wave."

El Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, con el apoyo del Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD) y el financiamiento del Adaptation Fund del Protocolo de Kioto, implementó el proyecto de “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana”, una apuesta que logró generar acciones que les permitieron a las comunidades de los municipios de San Benito Abad, San Marcos y Ayapel, enfrentar las inundaciones y sequías producidas por los efectos del cambio climático, a través de la implementación de medidas de adaptación en sus modos de vida.
Gracias a esta iniciativa, la Mojana, y los Municipios de San Benito Abad, Ayapel y San Marcos, cuentan ahora con una valiosa cantidad de información hidroclimatológica y un Sistema de Alertas Tempranas implementado coordinadamente con el IDEAM y CORPOMOJANA, que aporta información sin precedentes en otras regiones del país, para la planeación y tomar decisiones de política pública a nivel nacional, regional y local. En este sentido, se establecieron 11 estaciones de monitoreo climático, y se consolidaron 27 comités comunitarios para el monitoreo del Sistema de Alertas Tempranas, así como la creación del Centro de Pronósticos y Alertas que funciona en Corpomojana.
El proyecto logró también resultados significativos para las comunidades de la región de la Mojana, que implementaron medidas agroecológicas adaptables al cambio climático, que fomentan las prácticas tradicionales de producción más resilientes a los efectos del clima. Así mismo, apoyó el desarrollo de actividades productivas que permiten la diversificación de fuentes de alimentos que contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria y generación de ingresos, con una participación directa de 2.000 familias. Se establecieron más de 270 hectáreas de sistemas agrosilvopastoriles, 1.900 huertas familiares adaptadas a posibles inundaciones y más de 80 hectáreas de cultivos orgánicos de maíz, fríjol, guandú, plátano y yuca.
Así mismo, junto con las comunidades, se propuso un diseño de vivienda y centro comunitario que incorporan criterios de adaptación y variabilidad climática. Como resultado se construyeron 11 centros comunitarios adaptados al cambio climático para la comunidad; se implementaron en más de 500 hogares sistemas de captación de agua lluvia para los tiempos de sequía y medidas de gestión del riesgo; se edificaron viviendas vernáculas con adaptaciones a las inundaciones y se estructuraron 14 centros educativos con medidas para proporcionar agua en tiempos de sequía para más de 200 niños.
Con el apoyo técnico del Instituto Alexander Von Humboldt- IAVH, el Proyecto construyó para la región, la planificación eco regional, que define los lugares y acciones necesarias para la restauración de ecosistemas, a partir de la Planificación para la restauración de ecosistemas de humedal. Se implementaron acciones de restauración impactando a 945 hectáreas, en los Municipios de Ayapel, San Benito Abad y San Marcos y 35 km de canales en 5 caños priorizados en el territorio, recuperando la capacidad de regulación y amortiguación de estos ecosistemas, reduciendo la vulnerabilidad de las comunidades, la flora y fauna nativa mojanera, frente a los impactos de inundaciones y sequías. Estas acciones beneficiaron a más de 4.500 personas y permitieron la instalación de 29 viveros temporales establecidos con una producción de más de 200 mil plantas, de las cuales cerca de 137 mil, fueron sembradas.
“Aquí aprendimos de todo, recibimos muchas capacitaciones y al final nosotras sacamos adelante este proyecto. Con el conocimiento hicimos los viveros, las restauraciones y las huertas, ahora acompañamos a otras comunidades para hacer lo mismo”, cuenta Juana Madariaga de la comunidad de Pasifueres.
Por otra parte se realizó el fortalecimiento Comunitario e Institucional, con el que se capacitaron 155 Promotores Rurales para la Adaptación territorial, incorporar consideraciones de Cambio Climático en 12 instrumentos de planificación, 38 organizaciones de base, 3 de ellas lideradas por mujeres y se instaló la Plataforma de Mujer Rural. Esta estrategia se trabajó de la mano con las alcaldías municipales, las universidades regionales y las autoridades ambientales con jurisdicción en el territorio.
“Para el Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible el trabajo realizado en la Mojana es un ejemplo para todo el país. Este proceso no sólo ha permitido a la región adaptarse a los efectos del cambio climático, sino tejer procesos de asociatividad que han permitido comprender con mayor facilidad los cambios presentados en la región y establecer las medidas necesarias para adaptarse y enfrentar temporadas de sequía o inundaciones”, Comentó el Ministro de Ambiente Carlos Correa.
Gracias a la experiencia y las lecciones aprendidas con el proyecto “Reducción del riesgo y de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático en la región de La Mojana” se abre la puerta a una nueva iniciativa que escalará todas estas acciones para aumentar la resiliencia al clima y la sostenibilidad ambiental y social de las comunidades vulnerables en la región de La Mojana. Lo anterior, a través del proyecto Mojana Clima y Vida, liderado por el Fondo de Adaptación, con recursos del Fondo Verde para el Clima (GCF) que cobijará a los 11 municipios de la depresión Momposina, con el fin de aumentar la resiliencia y la sostenibilidad socioambiental para abordar los efectos del cambio climático, el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales y la gestión eficiente frente a los riesgos de desastres.
“Los logros alcanzados, no serían posibles sin el compromiso de las comunidades y el apoyo de la institucionalidad pública nacional, regional y local, en cabeza del Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible y de la local, gobernaciones, alcaldías y corporaciones ambientales, quienes han contribuido a que las medidas implementadas por el proyecto tengan resultados tangibles. Seguiremos trabajando en el fortalecimiento y generación de capacidades locales, que se materialicen en una planeación del desarrollo sostenible y compatible con el clima, y en la construcción de territorios resilientes y adaptados, concluyó Jimena Puyana, Gerente de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible. / Nov. 14, 2020.
