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.
