Bulgaria
The Challenge
USAID's goals are to ensure that Bulgaria accedes to the European Union, remains a dependable ally, and continues to play a stabilizing role in the
region. The greatest threat to Bulgaria in achieving these goals lies in its weak judicial institutions, widespread corruption, a burdensome regulatory
environment, a need for stronger local institutions, and rising ethnic tensions. With 2006 as the last year of funding and the impending phase-out of U.S.
development assistance to Bulgaria, USAID's program will help improve the professionalism of the judicial branch, assist in legislative reforms that will
improve delivery of justice, develop transparent methods for public procurement and public institutions, improve the legal/regulatory business
environment to attract investments, encourage the growth of small and medium enterprises, promote fiscal decentralization, encourage greater ethnic
tolerance, and strengthen local non-governmental organizations and their capacity to raise funds.
