U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Mark Green visited Bogota, Colombia May 13-14. On May 13, Administrator Green and President Duque announced an agreement to expand the scope of the two countries' Development Objective Assistance Agreement. USAID's $160 million contribution to this bilateral agreement reaffirms the two countries' continued support and collaboration. Administrator Green and President Duque also met with the Mayor of Ovejas to celebrate the USAID-funded land titling pilot project, which is Colombia's first massive land-formalization and multi-purpose registry project. Land-formalization is a key step to mitigating conflict, strengthening the economy, and reducing inequality in rural areas.
The readiness of the government and people of Colombia to take these challenges on, while continuingto drive to fulfill Colombia's destiny, is a major voice on the world stage, that makes us very proud to stay with you and to work with you. And, it's why today I want to take the opportunity to announce $160 million U.S. dollars in development assistance to Colombia from USAID.
