Ecuador
The Challenge
USAID furthers America’s foreign policy interests in Ecuador by consolidating and advancing democratic gains, supporting trade and free markets, providing alternative development to counteract the drug trade, promoting more equitable access to services to improve the lives of its citizens and conserving globally important biodiversity. USAID actively participates in bilateral and multilateral groups to analyze the root causes of instability. This instability includes: government control of resources, poor education, an economy reliant on extraction of natural resources, and weak institutions. Clearing Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) hurdles creates unique challenges for Ecuador. USAID assistance will focus on helping Ecuador meet the MCA hurdles of ruling justly and economic freedom. These latter indicators remain challenging for Ecuador to meet due to low government investment in the health and education sectors.
