New Frontiers in US Foreign Aid
Foundation
Helping the world’s poor is a strategic priority
and a moral imperative. Economic development, responsible
governance, and individual liberty are intimately connected…
The United States must promote development programs that achieve
measurable results – rewarding reforms, encouraging
transparency, and improving people’s lives.
Development reinforces diplomacy and defense, reducing
long-term threats to our national security by helping to build
stable, prosperous, and peaceful societies. Improving the
way we use foreign assistance will make it more effective
in strengthening responsible governments, responding to suffering,
and improving people’s lives.
-U.S. National Security Strategy, March 2006
President Bush has placed development at the forefront of
U.S. national security and foreign policy. USAID is rising
to the challenge. American diplomacy and development assistance
will continue to be powerful drivers of political and economic
freedom around the world.
In order to learn more about why development is now an integral
part of U.S. national security and foreign policy, one should
read the 2006 National Security Strategy which devotes
a major portion to expanding development. USAID has also recently
published the Policy Framework for Bilateral Foreign Aid,
which explains new directions in development policy. These
two documents make the case for listing both promoting islands
of stability in the developing world and reducing the roster
of failing states as top priorities of U.S. international
policy.
Please take a moment to examine our ideas and policy statements.
It is an exciting time to be improving the lives of peoples around the world.
