Africa Regional
The Challenge
Africa confronts development challenges of chronic poverty and hunger, and diseases like malaria and HIV/AIDS that hinder economic growth and kill millions every year. Armed conflict, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation, lack of basic services, and widespread corruption constrain progress.
USAID’s Africa Regional Program works with missions, African partners, and other donors to coordinate activities that invest in people by: (1) improving education programs and access to educational opportunities in Africa, especially for girls; (2) increasing agricultural productivity, trade, food security, and integrating sound environmental principles into conservation and natural resources management; (3) supporting effective approaches to health care delivery, with special attention to women’s and children's health; and (4) placing greater emphasis on conflict mitigation, support to civil society organizations, government accountability, and the rule of law.
