SAG-PRONADERS

What SAG-PRONADERS does

SAG-PRONADERS (Programa Nacional de Desarrollo Rural y Urbano Sostenible) is a Honduran government state entity created in 2000 by Decreto 12-2000 and reformed via Decreto Legislativo 137-2011, operating under the Secretaría de Agricultura y Ganadería (SAG). The organization is headquartered in the Centro Cívico Gubernamental in Tegucigalpa with 9 regional offices (CEFARES) across Choluteca, Comayagua, Copán, El Paraíso, Intibucá, La Paz, Lempira, Olancho, and Santa Bárbara, employing approximately 66 people. PRONADERS delivers an integrated portfolio of rural development programs targeting drought-affected communities, small and medium agricultural producers, and rural families across Honduras.

The program delivers physical infrastructure projects and social programs including well drilling for potable water (with an active massive drilling plan covering southern, central, and northern regions), modern drip irrigation systems, metal silos for basic grain storage, wet coffee processing facilities (beneficios húmedos), post-harvest plants, greenhouses, poultry production facilities (galpones avícolas), rural road rehabilitation, and box bridge (cajas puente) construction. Complementary social programs include the Programa de Huertos Escolares for agricultural education in island and remote communities, and Cajas Rurales de Ahorro y Crédito providing rural microfinance. The technology stack is primarily physical engineering infrastructure rather than software.

PRONADERS is entirely government-funded through national budget allocations, with no private-sector revenue streams. The go-to-market motion is sales-led via ministerial direction, with beneficiaries channeling requests through municipal channels and regional offices executing projects based on municipal requests and leadership-set priorities. The organization is governed by Minister-Director Miguel Edgardo Martínez and Sub-Director Ángel Alfonso Paz, with internal oversight via the Comité de Probidad y Ética and COCOIN (Internal Control Committee), and external oversight from the Tribunal Superior de Cuentas, ONADICI, and ONCAE. Leadership reports to the President of Honduras.
