Sensitive But Unclassified, Please Handle Accordingly. 
 
1. (SBU) Summary:   Coca growing communities are signing up 
to voluntarily eradicate their coca and participate in 
USAID's Alternative Development (AD) Program at a rate on par 
to meet the annual target of eradicating 2500 hectares. 
Uncertainties regarding upcoming elections and the pro-coca 
rhetoric of the front-runner in the polls, ultranationalist 
"outsider" presidential candidate Ollanta Humala, have not 
decreased interest in the AD Program.  If anything, 
contractors in the field are seeing a surprising uptick in 
program interest including in areas considered to be 
AD-reluctant, "hard-core" coca growing regions.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Directors from the four regional field offices of 
USAID's contractor for the Alternative Development (AD) 
Program told Emboffs on 3/30 that new communities are signing 
up to participate in voluntary eradication-linked alternative 
development.  They said that despite presidential and 
congressional election uncertainty and pro-coca rhetoric from 
Humala, communities are signing up to voluntarily eradicate 
their coca at a rate on par to meet the annual target of 2500 
hectares eradicated.  Of the 270 communities planned for the 
program this calendar year, 10 have completed the process, 
with over 100 hectares eradicated.  Sixty additional 
communities in San Martin and Ucayali departments have 
initiated the process to measure their coca fields, a 
necessary precursor to signing an agreement with the 
counternarcotics agency, DEVIDA, and subsequently eradicating 
their quantified coca.  In the coming weeks these communities 
will take these steps and eradicate their own coca. 
 
3. (SBU) The regional directors of USAID's contractor told 
Emboffs that there was no reduction in community interest to 
join the program and no action on the part of the communities 
to postpone their voluntary eradication agreements until 
after the election.  According to the USAID contractors, 
communities are unexpectedly approaching them to participate 
from regions that were specifically not targeted because they 
were deemed as "hard core" for their intense coca 
concentrations and therefore as having a low probability of 
agreeing to voluntarily eradicate their coca.  These include 
three communities in Huipoca and four communities in Tingo 
Maria.  USAID and their contractor are having informal 
discussions with "hard core" communities in Polvora/Pizana 
for them to join the AD program under "no replanting 
agreements" once the current programmed eradication campaign 
is completed there. (Comment: These communities showing 
interest in AD is a testament to the programmed eradication 
campaign having a positive impact in encouraging coca growers 
to cease coca farming and pursue a licit lifestyle.  Two 
years ago these communities would not have considered AD. End 
Comment.) 
 
4. (SBU) Since their contract is performance based, the 
contractor's incentive is to warn USAID if the contractor 
senses that communities will not make voluntary eradication 
commitments.  For the contractor to achieve its targets, it 
will have to continue to sign up communities and eradicate on 
a consistent basis through the year, including five months 
under a new government.  These factors add a degree of 
credibility to the contractor's statements.  The communities 
are required under the AD agreements to eradicate their coca 
before they receive the development benefits, so it is 
unlikely they are gaming the system in the short term, 
although they may hope to replant coca under a more compliant 
government.  Though they could replant coca it would take 
time before the communities saw a return, and historically 
USAID has observed very little re-planting of coca under the 
program.  The USAID contractors said they believed the 
communities were signing up to eradicate their coca and 
receive development benefits because the government had not 
done anything for them in the past and they did not expect 
this would change with a new government.  The AD Program has 
developed a reputation of delivering the benefits it promises. 
 
5. (SBU) Comment:  The AD Program, coupled with interdiction 
and programmed eradication, is an important part of our 
counternarcotics strategy.   The elections so far have not 
had a negative impact on the AD Program - communities are 
 
agreeing to eradicate their coca in exchange for development 
benefits.  The contractor reports are somewhat surprising 
since it would seem that coca communities would delay 
eradicating their coca and wait for a new government with a 
potentially different coca policy and new development 
resources.  That the USAID contractor is confident of 
achieving their target of 2,500 hectares voluntarily 
eradicated bodes well for the success of the AD Program, 
particularly given election uncertainties and pro-coca 
campaign rhetoric.  We will continue to monitor and report on 
this very fluid situation.  End Comment.
