Regional Center for Southern Africa
The Challenge
The USAID/Southern Africa program supports trade, environment, agriculture and democracy programs in fourteen countries in the Southern Africa region. Lack of regional integration, as well as insufficient integration in the global economy, continues to hamper economic growth in the region and contribute to persistent food insecurity. HIV/AIDS exacts a staggering toll, dramatically reducing life expectancy and diminishing economic prospects. Civil society is weak and, combined with the dominance of the executive branch in government, results in fragile institutions of democratic governance. USAID/Southern Africa works with both regional and national institutions - governmental and non-governmental - to promote trade, increase food security, encourage the application of regional norms and standards for democratic governance, strengthen the response to HIV/AIDS, and ensure equitable management of shared natural resources.
