Nicaragua
The Challenge
USAID's programs follow the precepts of the Millennium Challenge Account of transparent governance; economic freedom, and quality health and education. The greatest challenge for economic growth is strengthening rule of law. USAID supports laws and regulations for an independent judiciary and a better business climate. Economic activities increase the competitiveness of Nicaragua's products to take advantage of free trade agreements. Access to quality health and education are also program priorities.
