Peru: Organizations

Since 1961, USAID has implemented ambitious assistance programs in Peru across several sectors. Over the last five decades, U.S. assistance has played a critical role in the progress of the country. USAID support has helped Peru reduce poverty, increase literacy, improve communications and transport systems, reduce infant mortality, recover from natural disasters, achieve macro-economic stability, consolidate democratic participation, and advance education, health, agriculture, and economic opportunities. In addition, USAID has also provided life-saving humanitarian assistance, worked to promote alternatives to illicit crops, supported climate change adaptation projects, and forest certification and biodiversity protection.
