USAID

Overview

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is a federal agency established in 1961 to manage civilian foreign aid and development assistance worldwide. Operating under the U.S. Department of State, it focuses on promoting economic growth, combating disease, supporting democratic reforms, and addressing food insecurity in low-income countries.

This agency provides technical and financial assistance to improve health outcomes, reduce poverty, and build sustainable economies. It supports programs that fight infectious diseases, promote democratic governance, and facilitate disaster recovery, partnering with organizations across sectors to implement projects globally. With an annual budget exceeding $47 billion, it delivers programs through field missions worldwide, targeting vulnerable populations such as children, women, and communities affected by conflict or disasters. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the agency continually adapts its focus to address global challenges, improving health, economic development, and humanitarian response.
