Integrated Strategic Plan for USAID's Program in Uganda, 2002-2007. Volume 1: Assisting Uganda to Reduce Mass Poverty.

摘要

Primary U.S. national interests in Uganda are humanitarian response, democracy, global issues of population, health, and environment and economic growth. All are dramatically affected by internal and external developments. Uganda is a critical player in conflicts and tensions in the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa regions and in USG efforts to address them. Its development and stability are key to greater regional political stability, economic development, and East Africas integration into the global marketplace. Although Uganda continues to undergo a social, political, and economic transformation that is the envy of many other African societies, the process is far from complete. The proposed USAID/Uganda Integrated Strategic Plan 2002-2007 supports Ugandas focus on poverty alleviation as articulated in the PEAP. Accordingly, our Program Goal is: Assist Uganda to Reduce Mass Poverty This Goal directly supports the PEAPs broadest objective, which is to reduce poverty to 10 percent or less by 2017. Three Strategic Objectives will contribute to USAID Ugandas Program Goal.
