United States-Bolivia bilateral cooperation

Overview

The United States and Bolivia have expanded bilateral cooperation through various security and social initiatives. In early September 2026, the U.S. delivered military assistance to the Bolivian Armed Forces via a C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. This shipment, consisting of food rations and personal protection shields, was part of the ‘Escudo de las Américas’ regional cooperation mechanism intended to bolster capabilities against drug trafficking and transnational crime.

Following this military support, the two nations launched a $2.5 million joint initiative titled ‘Acting Together Against Trafficking’ (Atfat). Running from 2026 to 2030, this program focuses on combating human trafficking by allocating funds toward victim protection and crime prevention. The project targets strategic border regions and high-vulnerability areas through partnerships with various non-governmental organizations and academic institutions.
