Central Asiasn Republic
The Challenge
The countries of Central Asia are critical allies in the war on terrorism, potential sources of energy, and sitting at a crossroads in a neighborhood in flux. These countries face pervasive poverty, income disparities, authoritarian rule, political repression, extreme corruption, declining health standards, and potential for extremism. Although economic development in the region is progressing, true characteristics of democracy have yet to take root. Elections have been characterized by international organizations as being not truly free and fair, media restrictions still exist, and crackdowns on civil society organizations are commonplace. The nature of development challenges requires coordinated assistance in regional water management, energy sector development, cross-border disease control, trade, and conflict mitigation. Because problems extend to Afghanistan as well, efforts are underway to develop programs that address common issues across the wider Central Asia Region.

*The staff and operating expenses shown relate to the five Central Asia country programs as well as the Central Asia Regional program.

Therefore, a summary table with ratios of these program funds to the above staff would be misleading and is not presented.
