Democracy, Food Security, Anti-Corruption on USAID’s UNGA 2023 Agenda

At this year’s UN General Assembly, USAID Administrator Samantha Power announced more than $255 million to deliver essential services to citizens in countries experiencing democratic openings. This funding, including from foundations and the private sector, aims to galvanize partnerships and advance democracy. USAID also announced a new fund to spur investment in agriculture in Africa, with the goal of reaching $200 million and supporting 1.5 million farmers. There was also news about our fight against corruption, efforts to reduce food waste, and support to countries transitioning to green energy. In the words of President Biden: “We’re working to show how democracy can deliver in ways that matter to people’s lives.”
