Srbija je stekla status kandidata za pridruženje Evropskoj uniji (EU) u martu 2012. godine, pregovore o pristupanju započela u januaru 2014. i do sad je otvorila nekoliko pretpristupnih poglavlja.

Since 1991, Somalia has essentially been a collapsed state and has experienced chronic food insecurity, widespread violence, and recurring droughts and floods.  The social costs of war have been enormous, leaving Somalia with some of the lowest human development indicators in the world.  Sustained life-saving assistance, coupled with interventions aimed at building resilience, are critical to helping vulnerable households meet basic needs, reduce malnutrition, and protect livelihoods.

USAID is working to increase stability and reduce the appeal of extremism in Somalia through programming that fosters good governance, promotes economic recovery and growth, offers youth skills training, and works to increase social cohesion through improved community with government relationships. Our programs are planned and carried out with local partners in the context of Somali culture and values.

Following independence from Sudan in July 2011, a political crisis sparked fighting in the Republic of South Sudan's capital, Juba, in December 2013 that quickly spread to other parts of the country, igniting civil war.  Tens of thousands of South Sudanese have been killed and 4 million have fled their homes—2 million internally displaced and 2 million as refugees in neighboring countries.  The conflict continues to take lives in many parts of the country and South Sudanese have been deeply affected by economic devastation and exposure to traumatic events. 

Sri Lanka is an island nation located along major maritime trade routes in the Indian Ocean. Following democratic elections in 2015, the end of 26 years of conflict in 2009 and a decade of recovery from a devastating tsunami in 2004, the country has entered a new era.

Sri Lanka now focuses on strengthening its democracy, promoting reconciliation and fostering sustainable economic growth.

Swaziland is a small country almost completely surrounded by South Africa. Due in large part to its geographic position, the economy is heavily dependent upon trade with South Africa. The country has a relatively high per capita income, but nearly 70 percent of the population lives in poverty. Most high-level economic activity is conducted by non-Africans living in Swaziland. Primary education is widespread among boys and girls. The government’s transition from absolute to constitutional monarchy has been slow and remains incomplete. With the highest rate of HIV infection in the world – 26 percent of adults – Swaziland is facing a staggering pandemic. Tuberculosis is also at crisis levels. This health situation has brought overall life expectancy below 50 years, leaving an estimated 130,000 children without parents or adequate support. 

The majority of USAID’s work is in Swaziland is related to the President’s Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program. Other programs managed out of the USAID's Southern Africa regional office in Pretoria include a democracy and governance activity focusing on judicial independence and human rights, and an economic growth activity that reduces obstacles to foreign investment to expand the textile and garment industry.

Bordering Afghanistan, Tajikistan is a linchpin for stability and security in Central Asia. It is also key to developing trade and energy linkages between South and Central Asia. The United States partners with Tajikistan to assist the country to play a constructive role in regional prosperity, connectivity, stability and security.

Thailand graduated from USAID assistance in 1995 and in 2003, USAID opened a regional mission in Bangkok that serves the Asia-Pacific. Drawing upon Thai expertise, USAID works on cross-border issues of concern to Thailand and the region.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) strongly supports Tunisia’s democratic and economic transition as the Tunisian people consolidate the gains of the 2011 Jasmine Revolution to lay the foundation for an inclusive, accountable political system and dynamic, private sector-led economic growth that promotes prosperous and resilient communities across the country. Since 2011, USAID has provided approximately $300 million to support Tunisia’s economic growth and democracy.

USAID began its assistance to Uganda immediately after its independence in 1962, recognizing the country’s potential as a “bread basket” of Africa, with its rich natural resources, and significant rural population. Priorities have evolved over the past five decades, and we remain committed to improving Ugandans’ livelihoods. 

Today, our wide-ranging work supports U.S. policy objectives in peace and security, democracy and governance, health and education, economic growth, and humanitarian assistance.
