Administrator Samantha Power speaks to KTN on m-mama

  • June 22, 2023

Well we announced today at USAID that we're bringing $5 million to this initiative, the Vodafone Foundation, and M-Pesa Foundation bringing an additional $9 million. And what's so extraordinary about this emergency transport idea is that it actually relies on community members volunteering to say, ‘hey, I'm not a professional ambulance driver, nor am I a professional taxi driver, but actually someone in my family died in childbirth and I have the chance to volunteer and become part of a network to provide those pregnant mothers with a lift to a local health facility through this organization and this dispatch service.’ So it's actually a very cost effective way to save as many as 25,000 lives – mothers' lives a year.  

Administrator Power Interview with BBC’s Focus on Africa

Administrator Samantha Power at the Africa Energy Forum

  • June 21, 2023

So today, I am excited to announce the next step in our Power Africa journey. We are committing $89 million to invest in clean energy in East and Central Africa. And, now that the evidence from the past ten years has proven beyond a doubt that clean energy investments deliver meaningful returns, we’ll use that money as leverage. We know that in the large scheme of things $89 million is not a huge amount of money, but it is catalytic. It is leverage to mobilize billions more in public and private investment. 

Administrator Samantha Power at the Announcement of the Partnership to Bring m-mama to Kenya

  • June 21, 2023

Today, following up very much on our Safaricom colleague, I am pleased to announce that USAID will contribute $5 million to support the rollout of m-mama. With this money, and again critically following the lead of both the national and county government leadership in Kenya, and working closely with the Vodafone and M-PESA foundations, we will work together to cover 100 percent of emergency transport needs in rural areas in the next five years.

Administrator Samantha Power at the World Food Prize Foundation's Annual Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue

  • October 19, 2022

There are many culprits behind today’s food crisis, you know them well. The COVID-19 pandemic grinding economies to a halt, splintered supply chains, causing huge spikes in inflation, everywhere it seems. Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, holding hostage global supplies of food, fertilizer, and fuel, denying food to the world’s poorest communities – and that’s one of the many conflicts actually that is contributing to hunger around the globe.
