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

To strengthen democratic institutions and military professionalism, the United States utilizes International Military Educational and Training (IMET) funds. FY 2003 IMET funds will provide military and civilian defense training that reinforces the principles of civilian rule and strengthens the principles of human rights. Portions of DA [Development Assistance], IMET, and ESF [Economic Support Funds] funds will be used for programs that focus on increasing support for democracy through judicial reform and local governance activities.


IMET courses taken by Ecuadorian 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.
