With
great pride, on September 27th of 2006, Foundation Democracy
without Borders hosted the release of the “Legislative
Directory 2006-2010: a National Congress for all.” The
event brought together over 500 distinguished guests including
the 256 Members of Congress and their deputies.
This
Legislative Directory was presented both in printed and electronic
versions (directoriolegislativo.fdsf.hn).
Both versions have political and legislative information of
each congress member, and reference information for their
deputies. The document includes: Board Members information,
Legislative Commissions, a congressional schedule, the legislative
agenda, the legal framework pertaining to the National Congress,
relevant data for the eighteen departments, land boundaries,
total population, population density, electoral census, economic
activities, ethnic groups, and number of Congress delegates
per department.
