Research Project:
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE'S AZORES COOPERATIVE INITIATIVES PROGRAM
2005 Annual Report
4d.Progress report.
This report serves to document research conducted under a reimbursable agreement between ARS and the Department of Defenses’ European Command (EUCOM). The Azores Cooperative Initiative Program (ACIP), addresses the requirement to engage in cooperative initiatives with the Azores that is mandated in the 1995 U.S.-Portugal Agreement on Cooperation and Defense (95 ACD) and is further defined in the Final Minute (95 ACD-FM) to that agreement. The overall premise of the 95 ACD is to maintain unlimited access by U.S. forces to the facilities at Lajes Air Force Base, Azores. ACIP was created and has been implemented through DOD financial resources and relationships with civilian federal agencies and other non-governmental institutions as part of the USG commitment to the 95 ACD. ARS instituted, on behalf of the U.S. Government, specific cooperative agreements and grants with various cooperators, using funds provided under this agreement, to implement ACIP. These projects are:
(1) Integrated pest management program for horticultural crops in Azores, Portugal and the United States (Project No. 0210-22310-002-61G)
(2) Sustainable fisheries in Azores, Portugal (Project No. 0210-22310-002-59S)
(3) An instrument for economic policy analysis for the Azores (Project No. 0210-22310-002-58S)
(4) Epidemiology and control of Leptospirosis in the Azores (Project No. 0210-22310-002-57S)
(5) Training exchanges with the Azores (Project No. 0210-22310-002-56S)
(6) Civil protection and geological risk monitoring (Project No. 0210-22310-002-55S)
(7) Improvement of the Azores health care system (Project No. 0210-22310-002-54S)
(8) US-Regional Government of the Azores (RGA) technical cooperation for rural development (Project No. 0210-22310-002-34S) Individual progress reports for these ACIP projects may be found using their project numbers shown above.
