Summary:

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) created the Initiative for Southern Africa in 1994 to address problems from a regional perspective and to identify solutions that can go beyond what can be accomplished by any one country. The Initiative has three strategic objectives: to promote an integrated regional market, to accelerate adoption of sustainable agriculture and natural resource management approaches, and to strengthen indigenous southern African organizations to promote democratic values and institutions in the region. This report outlines (1) the specific activities that USAID's Regional Center has conducted to implement the Initiative, (2) the extent to which this regional program complements USAID's bilateral programs in the region, and (3) the challenges that the Regional Center faces in implementing the Initiative.
