EFFECTIVE FOREIGN AID IS VITAL TO U.S. INTERESTS:
We are living in an era of rapid change – and of immense opportunity – for global development.A world in which over a billion people live on less than $1.25 a day is not conducive to stability, democracy, or economic growth.Foreign aid is less than 1% of the federal budget, but it advances American values and interests by saving lives, promoting responsible and inclusive economic growth, building markets for U.S. goods and services, addressing the root causes of conflict, and supporting democratic and accountable governance.
