Program Description
In November 2007, USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) launched a program in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The OTI program is an initial step in support of the Government of Pakistan's (GOP) renewed efforts to better deliver services to communities in the region. These efforts are also meant to facilitate FATA integration into Pakistan's political and economic mainstream through small community-enhancement projects that will improve the economic and social environment in the region. In addition, OTI will support the GOP's efforts to increase public access to information about GOP social, economic, and political activities and policies in FATA.
The GOP is focusing efforts to bring security and development to FATA, demonstrating a renewed commitment toward the region by enhancing the role of the FATA Secretariat (FS) and attracting investment to the area through the FATA Development Authority. To begin bringing sustained and coordinated development to the region, the FS has produced the FATA Sustainable Development Plan (SDP). The GOP has pledged $1 billion to the SDP and is actively soliciting additional funds from donor governments, including the United States.
