摘要：In May 1998, the National Cleaner Production Centre in Honduras (Centro Nacional de Producci¨®n m¨¢s Limpia Hondure., or CNP+L-H) was created by a resolution of the second General Assembly of the Honduran Business Council for Sustainable Development (Consejo Empresarial Hondure.o para el Desarollo Sostenible, or CEHDES). In August of that year the Honduras- Canada Environmental Management Fund of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) funded a feasibility study and project design for the Centre. The feasibility study indicated broad industry interest in, and support for, CP objectives. Indeed, the consultants involved cited UNIDO as reporting that ¡°industry support in terms of in-kind contribution for the proposed Centre significantly exceeds that for any of the four national centres for cleaner production already established in Central America.¡± In 2000, CIDA committed funds for the Centre¡¯s first five years of operation. CNP+L- Honduras thus became the region¡¯s youngest cleaner production centre. In September 2000, with most of the Centre¡¯s staff in place, the 1998 implementation strategy was revisited with the staff and its validity was reaffirmed. A bolder and more detailed set of goals was defined, and a detailed work plan for Year 1 was developed with the ultimate purpose of verifying the underlying assumptions of the Centre¡¯s design. Activities were officially launched three months later.
