Description

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Dept.t of State (State) provide democracy assistance for Cuba aimed at developing civil society and promoting freedom of information. Typical program beneficiaries include Cuban community leaders, independent journalists, women, youths, and marginalized groups. Since 1996, Congress has appropriated $205 million to USAID and State to support democracy assistance for Cuba. Because of Cuban government restrictions, conditions in Cuba pose security risks to the implementing partners -- primarily NGOs -- and subpartners that provide U.S. assistance. This report (1) identified current assistance, implementing partners, subpartners, and beneficiaries; (2) reviewed USAIDäó»s and Stateäó»s efforts to implement the program in accordance with U.S. laws and regulations and to address program risks; and (3) examined USAIDäó»s and Stateäó»s monitoring of the use of program funds. This is a publicly releasable version of a Sensitive But Unclassified Report issued in Dec. 2012. Tables and figures.
