USAID and the Peace Corps operate independently in Guatemala but collaborate on a variety of programs. For instance, Peace Corps volunteers who work in communities where USAID activities are implemented often assist with these programs when it is relevant to the responsibilities they have in the communities they serve. One such example was support from Peace Corps volunteers with the establishment of USAID-funded internet business centers that are now allowing small farmers to access international market information (prices and buyers) for their products and helping others in similar ways. USAID also provides $75,000 a year to support the Peace Corps Small Projects Assistance Program, a small grants program ($3,000 or less) for communities that Peace Corps volunteers manage.
