	USAID CBJ FY 2002: Ecuador
		The crisis is evidenced by escalating narco-violence on both sides of the border, increasing crime, high profile kidnappings, oil pipeline bombings, displaced and jobless Colombians and Ecuadorians migrating into the northern border region (especially Sucumbios); and people fleeing from the growing violence and personal insecurity.

		The extent of this component aimed at creating "economically productive barriers" to the spread of the coca economy will depend on the amount of additional funding that becomes available in FY 2001 and FY 2002 under the ARI.
