Djibouti's location in a neighborhood with Yemen, Eritrea, Somalia, and Ethiopia at its borders, combined with its commitment to peaceful, pro-west, tolerant Muslim views makes it a unique and strategic partner. Although a small country, Djibouti is striving to achieve ambitious social and economic achievements. The government has made great advances in the last five years, including the development of the only deep-sea port in the region, increasing private sector investment, and gains in health and education. But despite these advances, Djibouti's future is threatened by a lack of arable land, chronic food insecurity, a severe lack of a skilled workforce, high unemployment, disease, illiteracy, dangerous and porous borders, an influx of refugees, and nascent government and political systems. Djibouti is also home to USAID’s only warehouse outside the United States that prepositions American food aid for Africa and Asia, which reduces delivery time of these important life saving commodities by 75 percent. It also hosts Camp Lemonier, the only U.S. military base on the African continent, East Africa's Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and Voice of America broadcasting facilities that target local audiences in Arabic and Somali. Djibouti has also played an important role hosting the Somali peace talks.
