USAID is a business-focused development agency focused on results.
We understand that humanitarian assistance is both a gift and an investment on behalf of the American public. It contributes to a future that all of us will share. We are constantly looking for ways to work smarter.
We are committed to transparency and accountability - to serve as a model of open and collaborative government.
