Strategic program areas
Each foreign assistance investment we make in Latin America and the Caribbean addresses multiple development challenges in a holistic manner. Our foundation representatives evaluate proposals with acute awareness of the local economic, political and social context and other factors that improve potential for successful outcomes. These smart, cost-effective investments provide the U.S. Government with a direct link to civil society and lessons about effective development practices across program areas that can truly make a difference.
