LAC Tropical Forest and Biodiversity FAA 118/119 Country Analyses

Background

As part of USAID's strategic planning processes, country-specific operating units are required to assess tropical forest and biodiversity conservation needs in their country and the extent to which proposed programs address the needs identified. This analytical requirement remains in force under the new Strategic Framework for USAID/LAC.

Requirements for tropical forest analysis are set out by the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) Section 118(e): "Country Analysis Requirements. -- Each country development strategy statement or other country plan prepared by the US Agency for International Development shall include an analysis of (1) The actions necessary in that country to achieve conservation and sustainable management of tropical forests, and (2) The extent to which the actions proposed for support by the Agency meet the needs thus identified."

Similar language exists for biodiversity conservation in FAA Section 119(d): "Country Analysis Requirements. -- Each country development strategy statement or other country plan prepared by the US Agency for International Development shall include an analysis of (1) the actions necessary in that country to conserve biological diversity, and (2) the extent to which the actions proposed for support by the Agency meet the needs thus identified."
