USAID Program in Colombia
USAID is the entity responsible for the implementation and administration of the socioeconomic development and humanitarian aid programs of the U.S. Government to Colombia. The USAID program currently concentrates on three strategic objectives which complement those of Plan Colombia: promoting economic and social alternatives to illicit crop production, strengthening and promoting a more efficient, participative and responsible democracy, and supporting the internally displaced and other vulnerable populations. USAID'S estimated budget for developing its programs in Colombia between 2000 and 2005 is approximately $624.3 million.
Summary of USAID's Strategy and Program in Colombia for the period 2006 - 2008
Concurrent with these broader objectives, USAID carries on wide-ranging dialogue with the Colombian government in order to strengthen the commercial and investment process of regional integration through the Andean Trade Program and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA), a Free Trade Agreement, and the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). USAID is also working toward establishing a mechanism for awarding grants for environmental and child protection projects, funded by the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative.
