Overview

The publication of this policy paper formally signals the change in strategic direction that I sought for the United States Agency for International Development when I became Administrator five years ago. It affirms that we will seek to use bilateral foreign assistance to build toward a safer and more secure, democratic, and prosperous world to enhance our own national security.
