Support to the Government of Nicaragua during the Negotiating Rounds of DR-CAFTA in Nicaragua
Overview
Under the USAID / CARANA program financial, administrative and logistic support was provided to the Government of Nicaragua during the highly successful round of negotiations hosted by Nicaragua in September 2003. During this period, MIFIC did not have sufficient funds on hand to cover certain costs associated with these negotiations, which CARANA was able to cover through this “rapid response” contract mechanism.

September 2003 Activities
The request, which was made two weeks before the CAFTA Negotiation rounds in Managua, was approved by USAID. CARANA staff at the time had to move quickly to arrange for and provide the requested support, which included phone lines, copier rental, office supplies, bus rental for the CAFTA press team, and other administrative support. Results
Without this support, the Government of Nicaragua would have had trouble securing the funding for the basic items that are listed above. Even though the LAC Trade Project did not have a permanent presence in Nicaragua at this time, CARANA was able to hire a person to coordinate these activities and provide additional support during the negotiations.
