Countries and Areas
We organize countries and areas into six geographical regions, each corresponding to one of our six “regional” bureaus. Learn more about each below.
(Sub-Saharan) Africa | East Asia and the Pacific | Europe and Eurasia | Near East (Middle East and Northern Africa) | South and Central Asia | Western Hemisphere
