The Challenge

The current Government of Guatemala (GOG) has demonstrated progress on rule of law and a turn-around on corruption. GOG has also shown commitment to competitiveness, rural development, food security, and improvement in key human development indicators. The current challenges include improving security and reducing crime, meeting the conditions of the Central America and Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) and realizing its promise of broad-based benefits, and sustaining GOG progress toward meeting Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) indicators, especially transparency within the GOG.

Strategic objectives under our bilateral program support U.S. foreign policy interests and directly parallel the three MCA goals of ruling justly, economic freedom, and investing in people.
