IMET: Bolivia
The following description of the IMET program for Bolivia comes from the U.S. State Department's April 2002 FY2003 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations:1

International Military Education and Training (IMET) funds will provide professional military education to key Bolivian military personnel, principally through attendance at U.S. military command and staff colleges, with focus on civil-military relations, resource management, and democratic institution building.


IMET courses taken by Bolivian personnel, 2001:2

Funding amounts and numbers of students may not match the numbers indicated in the table on the main IMET page. This owes to (1) discrepancies between two Department of Defense source documents, and/or (2) the possibility that some students took more than one course.
