Book Description
The U.S. has been providing assistance to Colombia since the early 1970s to help the Colombian Nat. Police and other law enforcement agencies, the military, and civilian agencies in their efforts to reduce illegal drug production and trafficking activities. Despite this assistance, Colombia remains the world's leading producer of cocaine and has become a major source of the heroin being used in the U.S. This report determines: how the drug threat has changed in recent years; what problems, if any, the U.S. has had in providing its assistance to Colombia; and what challenges the U.S. and Colombia face in reducing the illegal drug activities. Charts, tables and map. Also includes a 17-page GAO report, "Drug Control: Financial and Management Challenges Continue to Complicate Efforts to Reduce Illicit Drug Activities in Colombia," Statement of Jess T. Ford, Dir., International Affairs and Trade, Testimony Before the Caucus on International Narcotics Control, U.S. Senate (June 3, 2003)

Book Description
The United States has been providing assistance to Colombia since the early 1970s to help the Colombian National Police and other law enforcement agencies, the military, and civilian agencies reduce illegal drug production and trafficking. Recognizing that illegal drug activities are a serious problem, the Colombian government announced a counternarcotics plan known as Plan Colombia. This report reviews the U.S. counternarcotics efforts in Colombia. Although U.S.-provided assistance has enhanced Colombian counternarcotics capabilities, its usefulness has sometimes been limited because of long-standing problems in planning and implementation. For example, little progress has been made in launching a plan to have Colombia's National Police assume a larger role in managing the aerial eradication program, which requires costly U.S. contractor assistance. The governments of the United States and Colombia face continuing and new financial and management challenges in implementing Plan Colombia. The costs and activities needed to implement the plan are unknown at this time, and it will take years before any significant reduction in the drug trade is seen. Colombia must resolve problems with its political and economic stability and improve its management of counternarcotics funding in order to successfully implement Plan Colombia. GAO summarized this report in testimony before Congress; see: Drug Control: Challenges in Implementing Plan Colombia, by Jess T. Ford, Associate Director for International Affairs and Trade, before the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources, House Committee on Government Reform. GAO-01-76T, Oct. 12 (13 pages).
