Communities and Entrepreneurship

This collaboration was made possible thanks to the coordination of Carrie Martins and Laura Saborío Oviedo, the support of professors Mildred Acuña and Vivian Solano, along with the work of professors Antonio Sajid López from UF and Yorleny Fontana Cotto from UNED, as well as the invaluable digital support of Deborah Hendrix and the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. The project aimed to promote sustainable development and strengthen rural communities, addressing the importance of Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11).

The project, “Expanding and Embedding COIL Virtual Exchange at Honduran and Central American Universities – A Regional Partnership Initiative with the United States,” is funded by the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. COIL Consulting leads the initiative, with Jon Rubin serving as Project Director and Daysi Rueda as Project Coordinator.
