In response to many requests for information on A.I.D.'s private sector projects in Africa, the Office of Private Enterprise, Africa Bureau, has developed a reference guide describing ongoing projects as of March 1986. The guide overviews 28 projects active in Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, Togo, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, as well as 5 regional-level projects; each is described with regard to purpose, activities, budget, implementing agency, and results to date. The projects are being implemented in areas such as economic reform, employment, rural and agricultural development, marketing, small businesses, credit, manufacturing, and commercial transport. Specific goals include encouraging the expansion and growth of commercial banks, credit unions, and savings cooperatives; liberalization of markets for leather goods, cereals, maize, and fertilizer; support for livestock marketing and health; road maintenance; agribusiness development; and dissemination and commercialization of alternative energy sources (portable metallic cookstoves).

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. · Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. · Source: initiative records, start year
Began during the Ronald Reagan administration (1981–1989). Based on its first award year, 1985. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
No document or official record says which initiative or administration launched this program.
