REDSO
The Challenge
USAID's regional program in East and Central Africa (REDSO) covers 20 countries ranging from extremely fragile to relatively developed. Of these countries, nine have bilateral USAID missions, while three have USAID programs managed by REDSO; the remaining eight have no USAID programs or staff present but may receive occasional REDSO assistance in response to a specific need, e.g., humanitarian. Obstacles to regional cooperation include conflict, illegal trade of natural resources, weak leadership, pervasive corruption, and populations characterized by widespread poverty, low literacy, poor health status, and low productivity. The purpose of the regional program is to provide assistance across borders and/or through regional African organizations that helps two or more countries work together (e.g., the harmonization of trade policies); the regional program also provides technical support to the bilateral missions to ensure that lessons learned in one country are shared.
