Founded during the administration of President Kennedy, USAID now works in over 100 countries around the world. The USAID program in Egypt is one of the longest and most substantial commitments by the U.S. to any country in the world, totaling nearly $30 billion since 1978. In partnership with the government and people of Egypt, USAID’s program promotes an environment where all groups in Egyptian society can lead healthy, productive lives. It has directly and fundamentally supported sustainable gains in education, health, governance, and economic growth – including a reduction in infant and maternal mortality rates, improvement in reading ability in the early grades, access to water and sanitation for over 25 million Egyptians, and an increase in marketable skills – leading to jobs and lasting prosperity in Egypt.
