USAID

USAID develops partnerships with countries committed to enabling the private sector investment that is the basis of sustained economic growth to open new markets for American goods, promote trade overseas, and create jobs in the United States.

USAID extends help from the American people to achieve results for the poorest and most vulnerable around the world. That assistance does not represent a Democratic value or a Republican value, but an American value; as beneficiaries of peace and prosperity, Americans have a responsibility to assist those less fortunate so we see the day when our assistance is no longer necessary.

USAID invests in ideas that work to improve the lives of millions of men, women and children by:

  • Investing in agricultural productivity so countries can feed their people
  • Combating maternal and child mortality and deadly diseases like HIV, malaria and tuberculosis
  • Providing life-saving assistance in the wake of disaster
  • Promoting democracy, human rights and good governance around the world
  • Fostering private sector development and sustainable economic growth
  • Helping communities adapt to a changing environment
  • Elevating the role of women and girls throughout all our work
