Montenegro Overview
USAID programs seek to support Montenegro in its goal to be democratic, prosperous, and progressing towards Euro-Atlantic integration. The USAID Serbia and Montenegro Strategy for 2006-2011 profiles the social, political, and economic contexts for USAID’s work in Montenegro and defines the strategic objectives of the Mission’s activities. The strategy incorporates three key themes in addressing transitional challenges while adopting an innovative approach that integrates key democracy and economic growth components. It was also designed to respond to potential changes in circumstances including upcoming political events and optimizes resources and program impact through alliances with non-traditional partners.
