Benin
The Challenge
USAID’s program in Benin supports Benin's continued progress toward democracy and sustainable growth, while reducing poverty and dependency on foreign aid. Factors which could hinder Benin’s ability to achieve these successes include the widespread oppression of women, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, and centralized government authority and corruption. Women have been denied the benefits of economic and political progress during the past decade. Benin faces complacency, weak institutional leadership, and ineffective decentralization of disease control activities. Benin has a strong tradition of centralized authority and a lack of effective checks and balances. Through its education and health programs, USAID is addressing these challenges by contributing to women's and girls' empowerment, supporting HIV/AIDS and infectious disease awareness and prevention activities, and emphasizing decentralization and support for civil society.
