Economy Policy Analyst, PPC, USAID
Terrorist attacks, led by multi-national cadres in many
parts of the world, have focused the attention of US policy
makers and scholars on the Middle East and the entire Muslim
world. The growing antipathy in the Muslim world toward
the United States and the West in general spurred USAID
to re-examine the ways in which we provide assistance in
predominantly Muslim countries. Studies were completed that
focused on economic growth, governance, education and civil
society challenges in the Muslim world.
There will be a presentation on a USAID-supported program
in Indonesia, which engages Muslim organizations and groups
in a discourse on democracy, human rights and gender equality.
The program, which is managed by the Asia Foundation, has
32 local partner organizations and uses Islamic theology
and vocabulary to reach out to a cross-section of the population
– Muslim preachers, students in Muslim educational
institutions, educators and the general public.
