Peru


The Challenge

USAID's programs facilitate Peru's internal and international integration. Limited government presence in the highlands and jungle allows illegal coca cultivation, drug trafficking, illegal logging, remnants of terrorism, and HIV/AIDS transmission to flourish. USAID strengthens state presence through programs to reduce coca cultivation and supports interventions in health, education, economic growth, environment, and democracy. Weak democratic institutions and low citizen confidence thwart Peru's ability to adopt critical economic and political reforms. USAID improves the accountability and effectiveness of regional and local governments in the areas affected by illegal drug cultivation. While Peru's economy has outperformed most Latin American economies, 49.5% of Peruvians live in poverty and 18% in extreme poverty. USAID activities lay the foundation for sustained trade-led economic growth and increased market access for micro, small and medium enterprises that help reduce poverty.
