USAID/Lome : final assessment of program impact

The political crisis caused serious delays in program implementation, and in 2/93, suspension of U.S. economic aid, except for humanitarian programs. In 11/93, the decision to close USAID/T was announced, and all U.S. direct hires are expected to be gone by 6/30/94. Section I of the report describes the factors affecting USAID/T's program in FY93. Section II outlines progress toward the overall program goal of sustainable market-oriented economic growth, and the subgoal of an improved human resource base, and includes tables of macroeconomic and educational/health indicators. Section III discusses level of achievement of the Mission's two strategic objectives: (1) improved maternal/child health and reduced fertility; and (2) a strengthened national credit union. Finally, Section IV discusses democratic initiatives undertaken by the Mission. Overall, USAID has had a positive impact in Togo, especially in the health sector and the credit union movement.
