An early start on our last day in Guyana to visit the countryside and see some of the nation’s stunning biodiversity & wildlife. Glad to speak with Tourism, Industry and Commerce Minister Walrond about the potential of ecotourism in Guyana 🇬🇾.

.@PresidentAliGY brought CARICOM: Caribbean Community government leaders together for a productive lunch, where we shared our plans for building a stronger, more prosperous Caribbean (and some fresh coconut water!).

Glad to see that 19 Catholic clergy members who had been unjustly detained in Nicaragua have now been released. We will continue to call for the people of 🇳🇮 to have fundamental freedoms - like the freedom to worship - and for the release of all who are unjustly detained.

Carla, Emmanuel, Dayana and Mairol are migrants who arrived in Colombia from Venezuela and who see migration as an opportunity. Hear what integration means to them.

Happy to bear witness to this historic moment for Guatemalan democracy at @barevalodeleon’s inauguration with my USG colleagues. Brian A. Nichols US Embassy Guatemala

Here in the National Theater in Guatemala City awaiting Bernardo Arévalo when word came that he would finally be able to be sworn in, the room broke out into cheers of “si se pudo.” Waiting for the new President’s arrival soon.

Proud to be part of the Bloopers Highlights at US Embassy Bogota - some of my best work!

.USAID LAC will also continue to expand and improve access to lawful migration pathways from Central America, like H-2 visas. These life-changing opportunities fill critical labor gaps in the US and empower workers to invest their wages and skills back at home.

.USAID LAC is proud to support efforts of South American countries like 🇨🇴, 🇪🇨, & 🇧🇷 to welcome & integrate millions of Venezuelan migrants and help them access schools for their kids, bank accounts, healthcare and jobs so they can stay, settle & succeed in their new communities.

This week we celebrated #InternationalMigrantsDay at a time when the Western Hemisphere is experiencing historic levels of migration. USAID works to address the root causes of migration by improving security, governance and economic opportunity in their home communities.

Em 2008, USAID ajudou a criar o Grupo +Unidos, um coletivo de empresas US que trabalham juntas para desenvolver iniciativas em todo o Brasil, incluindo na Amazônia. Essas parcerias estratégicas utilizam expertise to setor privado e ação coletiva para um maior impacto.

Next year, the US and Brazil will celebrate 200 years of diplomatic relations that have benefited both of our countries. USAID LAC is proud to partner with Brazil, especially in our work to protect the Amazon rainforest, a critical natural resource.

.USAID LAC focuses on inclusive development, helping societies provide opportunities for everyone. See how we work for #AllinLAC instagram.com/p/C0M-rapyH1n/…

Our hope is that this data can give politicians the courage to pursue bold reform.

These tremendous challenges have put pressure on governments and strained citizen’s faith in democracy.
