Efforts to develop a national plan of action against the commercial sexual exploitation of children in Honduras have been slow and problematic due to various failed attempts to bring together the necessary institutions. Since the First World Congress there has been little follow up to implement the Stockholm Agenda for Action.  
<p>
That said, an NPA is currently under construction, by  the name of Plan de Acción Nacional para la Erradicación de la Explotación Sexual Comercial de la Infancia, Niñez y Adolescencia. The Comisión interinstitucional contra la Explotación Sexual Comercial de la Infancia, Niñez y Juventud is in charge of its drafting. This commission involves various NGOs, International Organisations and Government entities. 
<p>
In 2001, the Government established the National Commission for the Gradual and Progressive Eradication of Child Labour, a body that coordinates all activities to combat child labour issues, including overseeing some CSEC provisions. 
<p>
The government institution responsible for children’s affairs is the Instituto Hondureño de la Niñez y la Familia (IHNFA). As a public autonomous agency, the IHNFA has the mandate to coordinate public and private sector initiatives for the promotion, implementation and supervision of public policies for children and families.   As a consequence, IHNFA is coordinating an inter-institutional committee which aims is to create an action plan covering the different issues connected to the CSEC problem.
