WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) announced today the swearing in of Jonathan Addleton, the new USAID Mission Director for Cambodia, by Administrator Andrew S. Natsios.

Mr. Addleton joined USAID in 1985 as an assistant program officer in Pakistan. Since then, he has served as Program Officer in Yemen, South Africa, Central Asia, and Jordan, and as Mission Director in Mongolia.

Drawing on his varied experience, Addleton will head up the mission's over $50 million program, focusing on good governance, improved health and education, and services for the disabled.

Prior to joining USAID, he worked for the World Bank, the Carnegie Endowment for International Affairs and the U.S. Information Agency.

Receiving his Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism from Northwestern University, Addleton holds a Master of Arts and Doctorate Degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He has authored two books, Some Far and Distant Place (University of Georgia Press) and Undermining the Center (Oxford University Press), and is widely published in academic and professional journals.

Mr. Addleton was born and raised in Murree, Pakistan. He and his wife Fiona Mary Riach, have three children; Iain (age 13), Cameron (age 11) and Catriona (age 9). His language skills include Hindu and Urdu.


The U.S. Agency for International Development has provided economic and humanitarian assistance worldwide for more than 40 years.
