Southern Africa Regional

Country Overview

While Southern Africa has seen significant economic growth, the number of people living in poverty has grown over the last two decades. This region has some of the highest levels of income inequality in the world. 

USAID works to advance the region toward becoming more integrated, prosperous, and ultimately self-reliant. This goal can only be achieved when the needs of both women and men in the region are addressed. Our programs enhance trade and regional economic ties, address HIV, AIDS, and TB, and focus on strengthening South Africa's ability to prevent, detect, contain, and respond to emerging infectious diseases, while supporting democratic processes, protecting human rights, and building resilience.

USAID is strategically allocating its resources and partnering with three main stakeholders: the private sector, governments, and citizens to catalyze inclusive economic growth, strengthen governance, and advance the resilience of people and systems.
