State and USAID: Guatemala continues to face major challenges to successful development, including historic inequality, poverty, and a weak government that lacks the necessary capacity and controls to address many development issues: insecurity, impunity, low quality education, high chronic malnutrition rates, and vulnerability to economic fluctuations and natural disasters. Guatemalans lack protection against organized crime, struggle to feed and educate their children, and face challenges with respect to natural resource management. U.S. assistance will focus on improving citizen security and justice, increasing levels of economic growth and social development in the Western Highlands, fostering sustainable management of natural resources, and mitigating the effects of global climate change.
