The Development Challenge: Political instability, the continuing threat of terrorism, and significant development challenges (high population growth rates, weak governance systems, human rights violations, the growing threat of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, environmental degradation, and increasing water scarcity) plague much of Asia and the Near East.
The USAID Program: USAID's regional programs are vital to the Agency's efforts to address transnational issues and opportunities, promote public-private partnerships, and facilitate the exchange of information and ideas between countries. These programs are in addition to those managed by the Regional Development Mission/Asia (RDM/A) in Bangkok, Thailand. The four regional programs that will be managed by USAID/Washington in FY 2005 and FY 2006 are:
Program Development and Learning. Funds will support the development and refinement of new strategies for country and regional programs and forward-looking analyses that identify emerging development problems and opportunities in the region. The program also supports planning, analysis, program assessments and evaluations, and Agency compliance with reporting and public information requirements.
South Asia Regional Initiative for Energy. This program supports regional energy cooperation and the eventual trade in clean energy resources in South Asia.
South Asia Regional Initiative on Equity for Women and Children. This program supports efforts to combat trafficking in persons, implement rules of law prohibiting violence against women and children, promote safe migration, and provide care for the survivors of gender-based violence and child abuse.
Tsunami Recovery and Reconstruction. The ANE Bureau is presently developing a strategy for long-term recovery and reconstruction to address the impact of the Tsunami that hit several ANE countries on December 26, 2004. Activities under a regional Tsunami strategic objective will cut across all sectors, including humanitarian assistance, education and job creation, natural resource management, infrastructure building, and economic growth.
Other Program Elements: None
Other Donors: These programs are coordinated with other donors operating in the region. The HIV/AIDS, economic growth, and environment activities have especially benefited from partnerships with the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and several United Nations agencies. These partnerships bolster the overall results of these activities and help USAID achieve its objectives in the region.
