US Department Of State Post Report
Despite the solid economic growth since 1987, Bolivia remains South America’s poorest country. The economic recovery of the last half of the 1980s only offset the decline of the first half. Bolivia still has a GDP of only $1,076 a person, far lower than most neighboring countries. Bolivia has an illiteracy rate of at least 20%, and a December 1999 UNICEF report on infant mortality indicated that 85 of every 1,000 children die before they reach 5 years of age. Thus, the Government of Bolivia remains heavily dependent on foreign assistance to finance development projects. At the end of 1998, the Government owed $4.3 billion to its foreign creditors, with $1.6 billion of this amount owed to other governments and most of the balance owed to multilateral development banks. Most payments to other governments have been rescheduled on several occasions since 1987 through the Paris Club mechanism. Some countries have forgiven substantial amounts of Bolivia’s bilateral debt. The U.S. Government ... [Read More]

U.S. Policy and the Andean Counterdrug Initiative (ACI)
Mr. Chairman, and distinguished members of the committee. Thank you for the invitation to discuss the Andean Counterdrug Initiative (ACI) and the State Department’s continued efforts in this critical region. The Initiative represents a significant investment by the American people in a region that produces the vast majority of the drugs arriving in the United States. If this initiative were targeted just at saving some of the 21,000 lives lost to these drugs last year, it would be the right thing to do. But there is more to this bipartisan, multi-year initiative than even that noble aim. It is also a bulwark against the threat of terrorism in Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. In short, i ... [Read More]
