USAID

Washington, United States

Global.

USAID is an independent federal government agency that receives overall foreign policy guidance from the Secretary of State. Our Work supports long-term and equitable economic growth and advances U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting:

• economic growth, agriculture and trade

• global health; and,

• democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance.

USAID - Women in Development: We believe that the contributions that women make to the economic, social, and political lives of their nations, communities, families and the next generation make them key actors in effective development. More than 800 million women are economically active worldwide -- in agriculture, small and microenterprise, and, increasingly, in the export processing industries that drive globalization.
