US STATE DEPARTMENT SELF STUDY GUIDES

The US Department of State provided these thirty-five Self Study Guides in response to a FOIA request.  This series of study guides, each covering a country or area, were prepared for the use of USAID staff assigned to temporary duty in those countries.  The guides are designed to allow individuals to familiarize themselves with the country or area in which they will be posted.  These guides range in age from 2000 - 2006.  There are a few guides which are undated but, from their content, appear to date from the early 2000s.

Access the files through the following links.  The files are made available individually in PDF files and all files in a single PDF file.
