Supporting democracy abroad is a major U.S. foreign policy objective. To better understand how this assistance has been implemented in Latin America, GAO was asked to review programs in six countries--Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Peru--that have been of particular importance to U.S. interests in Central and South America. Between fiscal years 1992 and 2002, U.S. agencies have funded more than $580 million in democracy-related programs in these countries. This report discusses the impact of and factors affecting this assistance and the overarching management issues that have affected program planning and implementation. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-358/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-358.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-358/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-358.pdf GAO-03-358 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-358 Other Written Product GAO-03-358; Foreign Assistance: U.S. Democracy Programs in Six Latin American Countries Have Yielded Modest Results; Federal aid to foreign countries Foreign aid programs Foreign governments International relations Program evaluation Regional development programs Strategic planning Program management Bolivia Columbia DOJ International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program Title 22 Section 2420 22 U.S.C. 2420 Public Law 93-559
