At the same time, gang activity in Central America has increased, further fueling the violence within the region. In an effort to confront the challenges posed by criminal violence, in October 2007, the United States and Mexico announced the M婉rida Initiative, a $1.4 billion counternarcotics and anticrime assistance package for countries in the region. The M婉rida Initiative brings a shift in both scale and scope to U.S. assistance to the region, particularly Mexico. Similarly, collaboration between the United States and Mexico has intensified, providing an unprecedented opportunity to address the mutual threat of drug trafficking and organized crime affecting the region. In response to your concerns regarding the pace of assistance, we are providing information on the status of funding provided under the M婉rida Initiative as of September 30, 2009. Specifically, we describe how much has been appropriated, obligated, and expended. We also identify factors affecting the delivery of major equipment, services, and training; and we provide a timeline of key events related to the initiative.
