Belarus
The Challenge
The key objective of the Belarus program is to increase citizen participation in democratic practices. The lack of government commitment to
democratization and free-market economic development, as well as a hostile environment to almost all foreign assistance are the main impediments
toward achieving this objective. This hostility is expressed in the closure of U.S. PVOs implementing USAID programs, harassment of local nongovernmental
organizations, and further regulation of international assistance, all of which makes it very difficult to register programs in democracy and
governance. To address these challenges, USAID has increased programming in the democracy area using Supplemental funds, while simultaneously
expanding activities into the areas of health and social transition as an alternative way of civil society development. USAID launched new activities
addressing HIV/AIDS, Orphans and Vulnerable Children, prevention of Trafficking in Persons, and economic education.
