The project objective is sustained improvement of occupational safety and health (OSH) conditions for workers in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador: with a particular focus on injuries, Chronic Kidney Disease of non-traditional causes (CKDnt) and COVID-19 in the agricultural sectors in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador; and injuries and COVID-19 in the apparel/textile (maquila) sector in El Salvador. The project should achieve or contribute significantly to the following outcomes: 1.

Increased utilization of existing social protection systems by workers and families impacted by workplace illnesses and injuries. 3.
