The American People Invest More than $12.5 Million on Democracy
and Economic Development
On Tuesday, June 27 at 14:00 International Relief and Development (IRD) hosted a special appreciation event in “Dunjica Kuca” in the Sabac. IRD and USAID wanted to express their appreciation and friendship to Sabac regional citizens, volunteers, NGOs, local governments, business leaders, and others who have worked so hard to make the USAID program a success.
The six year Western Serbia program of the American people will finish in July, 2007. Since July 2001, IRD and citizens have planned and completed 371 projects in Sabac, Ruma, Sremska Mitrovica, Loznica and Vladimirci worth more than $12.5 Million. The American people provided $7.7 Million; citizens, businesses, and local governments invested more than $4.8 Million. These projects have improved schools, hospitals, health services, water and electrical systems, livestock breeding, agriculture cooperatives, dairy products, tourism, parks, cancer screening, family planning and reproductive health services, services for children with special needs, programs to assist victims of domestic violence, business improvement districts, and helped make small businesses become more competitive by meeting international standards to increase domestic sales and exports.
IRD is especially proud of our contribution to helping citizens, local governments, and businesses work together to improve the quality of life and the economic environment.
Slavenko Đokić, IRD Serbia Chief of Party made a public statement of appreciation at the event.
