MESSAGE FROM THE ADMINISTRATORUnder this plan, USAID programs support broader efforts to counter the drivers of violence andinstability; respond to the challenges caused bydisplacement and mass migration; and strengthencitizen-responsive governance, democracy, andhuman rights, to underpin global stability.For over half a century, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) hasplayed a critical role in furthering American interests around the globe. USAID is the world’sleading development and humanitarian assistance agency, and an important contributor to theobjectives of the National Security Strategy of theUnited States.Our work will also support U.S. Government efforts to combat corruption, transnational crime,and extremism that threaten American citizensand our economy. It will help prevent global outbreaks and epidemics of infectious disease before they reach our borders, as part of the GlobalHealth Security Agenda.Our development assistance has helped countriesincrease educational attainment, boost life expectancy, reduce poverty, and transition from beingaid recipients to become economic and securitypartners.While America faces an unprecedented array ofnational security threats, USAID’s internationaldevelopment efforts support the U.S. Government’s response to counter and prevent them.We will help create markets for American jobsand services by promoting inclusive economicgrowth and development abroad.We will continue to project American values byresponding to humanitarian crises, combattinghuman trafficking, working to end preventablechild and maternal death, and halting the spreadof HIV/AIDS as part of the President’s EmergencyPlan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).Our ultimate goal is a future in which foreign assistance is no longer needed. We are working toward a world of safe, prosperous, self-reliant, andeconomically integrated countries that work together to solve common problems. I believe thatreaching the goals outlined in this Joint StrategicPlan (JSP) will move us closer to that day. USAIDis committed to working hand-in-hand with theDepartment of State to achieve the strategic goalsand objectives in the JSP.We will do all of this while stressing our responsibility and accountability in managing taxpayerfunds.This JSP will ensure USAID remains an indispensable force of good in the world, a critical toolin the United States’ national-security toolbox,and, perhaps most important, help create a worldin which one day foreign assistance will no longerbe needed.Mark GreenUSAID Administrator13
