Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS KINSHASA 000697 SIPDIS DEPARTMENT FOR AF/C DEPARTMENT PASS USDA - MARY CHAMBLISS FROM BRAZZAVILLE EMBASSY OFFICE E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ECON, EAID, CF SUBJECT: CONGO/B: Status of 2005 Food for Education Funding 1. Post understands that recipient countries for USDA's 2005 Food for Education program have been made and, that Republic of Congo (ROC) was not slated to receive funding and have the program renewed. The Embassy would like to submit as a reclamma the importance of this program for the Republic of the Congo. It is one of the major bilateral assistance programs between the U.S. and ROC. Congo/B is a post conflict country with dire education needs. The USDA Food for Education Program has been critical in addressing education issues all over the country stemming from six years of civil conflict. The program reaches more than 5,000 children, including at-risk groups like pygmies. The Embassy strongly supports this program and would like to request that USDA reconsider ROC for the 2005 selection, or if that is not possible, we would hope that ROC would be on the list for any end of the year or unprogrammed funds. 2.
