Program Description

USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) Venezuela program was part of a larger U.S. Government effort to support democratic stability and build confidence among and between political leaders and civil society in Venezuela. The program supported the work of civil society organizations, diverse members of all political parties, and human rights organizations across the political spectrum to provide an opportunity for open debate and dialogue on key citizen issues while promoting multi-party, multi-sectoral citizen participation.

For internal management reasons, OTI officially transferred its Venezuela program to the USAID Latin American and Caribbean Bureau on December 31, 2010, after eight years of operation. The program will continue to strengthen democratic governance, support civic engagement, promote human rights, and expand national dialogue.
