  • democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance.

We provide assistance in five regions of the world:

With headquarters in Washington, DC, USAID's strength is its field offices around the world. We work in close partnership with private voluntary organizations, indigenous organizations, universities, American businesses, international agencies, other governments, and other U.S. government agencies.
