Turkmenistan
The Challenge
U.S. Government priorities in Turkmenistan include democratic development/human rights; economic prosperity, which encompasses a healthy population; and regional stability. Although political will is lacking, the U.S. relationship with citizens is excellent. Despite the challenges USAID faces, real progress has been achieved in a select number of areas, including health. The private sector is non-existent. Official registration is the main challenge for civic organizations, with only two successfully registering last year. Poor water resources management and infrastructure cause concern, and cotton harvest levels continue to decline due in part to the lack of privatization. Minorities face discrimination, including religious groups, which cannot worship freely; and the credentials of foreign degree holders have been revoked. Nonetheless, USAID is carrying out meaningful activities and generating hope by promoting civil society, improving health care, and training entrepreneurs.
