On behalf of the American people, we promote and demonstrate democratic values
abroad, and advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world. In support of
America's foreign policy, the U.S. Agency for International Development leads
the U.S. Government's international development and disaster assistance through
partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, strengthen
democratic governance, and help people emerge from humanitarian crises and
progress beyond assistance.
