On Veterans Day, we honor veterans’ service to USAID – and also to the American people. Our veterans make enormous sacrifices – placing their lives in danger, separating from family and friends, and enduring the physical and mental toll of conflict – to keep us safe. All of USAID is grateful to our veterans for putting themselves on the line to protect democracy, advance stability, and save lives around the world.

he United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing $53.7 million in additional humanitarian assistance for the people of Haiti.

On Friday, President Biden announced 10-year plans for implementing the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability in partnership with Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and Coastal West Africa, including Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo. These plans represent a commitment to global peace and security, with the United States working alongside an array of local partners toward shared, long-term goals of conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

Statement by Administrator Samantha Power: On Friday, President Biden sent to Congress 10-year plans to implement the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability with partners around the world: Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and the Coastal West African countries of Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo. These plans offer a roadmap, tailored to each country, of sustained, coordinated actions that will help address the root causes of conflict and build peace. USAID is eager to implement these plans in close partnership with our U.S. government partners, our partner country governments, and the local leaders and stakeholders who are best positioned to drive effective and long-term change in their communities.
