USAID
The United States has a long history of extending
a helping hand to those people overseas struggling to make a
better life, recover from a disaster or striving to live in
a free and democratic country. It is this caring that stands
as a hallmark of the United States around the world -- and
shows the world our true character as a nation.
U.S. foreign assistance has always had the twofold
purpose of furthering America's foreign policy interests in
expanding democracy and free markets while improving the
lives of the citizens of the developing world. Spending less
than one-half of 1 percent of the federal budget, USAID
works around the world to achieve these goals.
USAID's history goes back to the Marshall Plan
reconstruction of Europe after World War Two and the Truman
Administration's Point Four Program. In 1961, the Foreign
Assistance Act was signed into law and USAID was created by
executive order.
Since that time, USAID has been the principal U.S. agency
to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster,
trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic
reforms.
USAID is an independent federal government agency that
receives overall foreign policy guidance from the Secretary
of State. Our Work supports long-term and equitable economic
growth and advances U.S. foreign policy objectives by
supporting:
-Economic growth, agriculture and trade;
-Global health; and,
-Democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance.
We provide assistance in five regions of the world:
-Sub-Saharan Africa;
-Asia;
-Latin America and the Caribbean,
-Europe and Eurasia; and
-The Middle East.
With headquarters in Washington, D.C., USAID's strength
is its field offices around the world. We work in close
partnership with private voluntary organizations, indigenous
organizations, universities, American businesses,
international agencies, other governments, and other U.S.
government agencies. USAID has working relationships with
more than 3,500 American companies and over 300 U.S.-based
private voluntary organizations.
