USAID's Strategy in
Africa
Africa’s challenges are numerous and complex, but
there is also much potential and opportunity for growth
and development throughout the continent. Investing in
people is perhaps the single most important factor in economic
growth. USAID will continue to support greater access to
education and health services to build a more educated
and healthier workforce. Because agriculture is the foundation
of most African economies, increasing the productivity
of agriculture is critical to reducing poverty and increasing
food security. The growing HIV/AIDS pandemic threatens
to compromise the economic, social, and democratic gains
made in Africa in recent decades, and new funds and programs
will work to stem this serious threat to Africa’s
future. Violent conflict and instability will remain a
serious risk for almost half of the countries in Africa
for the foreseeable future, yet there are promising signs
that democracy is spreading and taking hold across the
continent. USAID will place greater emphasis on conflict
mitigation and management, and will continue to support
civil society organizations, encourage greater accountability
in government, and promote respect for the rule of law.
Central to USAID’s assistance programs in Africa
are four new initiatives to improve education, increase
agricultural productivity, promote trade with Africa, and
protect the Congo Basin Forest.
Other important elements in USAID’s program include
a new Anti-corruption Initiative to combat this insidious
threat to growth and development in Africa, and a significant
expansion of support for HIV/AIDS related programs, including
the Presidential Mother and Child HIV Prevention Initiative to reduce the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV/AIDS.
