Why Our Work Matters…
Economic growth creates opportunities, improves quality of life, and reduces poverty.
Despite overall economic growth, 30 percent of Peru's population still lives in poverty, with rural poverty at 61 percent. USAID works with the government of Peru to improve linkages to domestic and international markets, increase access to financial services, and promote private sector competitiveness.
USAID's Economic Development Program in Peru aims to:
- Promote private sector competitiveness;
- Increase access to financial services; and
- Improve linkages to domestic and international markets.
