USAID Mission Web Sites
The following is a list of USAID missions that have an internet presence available to the public. This should not be considered an inclusive list of all USAID missions. For a more inclusive list of missions with contact information, please go to the USAID Mission Directory.
- USAID/Afghanistan
- Our website demonstrates how American taxpayer dollars are being used to help Afghanistan and its people to build a peaceful, prosperous, and democratic state. It features projects that are improving the lives of the Afghan people. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Afghanistan implements these projects, and works with a team of outstanding local and international partners to help carry them out. Our work in Afghanistan is an excellent example of how the American people are helping the people of Afghanistan build a better future.
- USAID/Albania
- Albania has played a positive, moderating role in the Balkans and has made strides towards NATO membership and European Union integration. Still, significant challenges remain in Albania’s consolidation as a multiparty democracy and market economy. Under the U.S. Government’s Foreign Assistance framework, USAID’s development program assists Albania in three main areas: Economic Growth, Governing Justly and Democratically, and Investing in People, with one program contributing to Peace and Security. USAID programs strengthen governmental accountability and transparency, reduce corruption, increase the competitiveness of Albania’s private sector, improve the delivery of quality healthcare, help ensure a reliable and affordable energy supply, and reduce trafficking in persons. Additionally, USAID implements the Millennium Challenge Albania Threshold Agreement.
- USAID/Angola
- Angola is continuing the transition toward national reconciliation and peace that was begun in earnest in 2002. As a potential powerhouse for regional trade and investment- Angola is sub-Saharan Africa's second largest oil producer and has tremendous agricultural resources to benefit a food-deficit region-the country has the potential to make an important contribution to regional growth and stability. To help the country realize its potential, USAID focuses on strengthened democratic governance, essential social services delivery, and economic opportunity.
- USAID/Armenia
- USAID/Armenia is committed to working in partnership with Armenians
for a prosperous and stable country that offers equal opportunity to
all its citizens. This can be achieved only through a strong democracy
and market economy, governed by the rule of law, which promotes the
general welfare of the people. Please visit our web site for more information
about the USAID/Armenia program.
- USAID/Asia
- The Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID RDMA) was established in 2003 to manage regional development assistance programs in Asian countries without USAID Missions, including Burma, China, Laos, and Thailand. Its mandate was quickly expanded to develop and support a broad portfolio of regional and transnational programs, and provide technical leadership, services and support to several USAID bilateral missions in Asia.
- USAID/Azerbaijan
- USAID activities have included nearly $284 million humanitarian and development assistance since 1992. Our objectives in Azerbaijan include supporting democratic change, promoting regional stability, and ultimately bringing the full benefits of economic and democratic reforms to the Azerbaijani people
- USAID/Bangladesh
- Since Bangladesh gained independence in 1971, USAID has provided more
than $4.3 billion in bilateral assistance to the country. Food aid accounts
for nearly half of that amount. With USAID assistance, Bangladesh is
realizing significant improvements in living conditions for its people.
Now, Bangladeshis have better access to health care, and enjoy increased
agricultural outputs, improved nutrition, and access to electricity.
Our programs work with communities to assist with disaster preparedness
and improve their ability to manage food relief when a disaster does
strike.
- USAID/Benin
- The USAID Mission to Benin was re-established in December 1991 with
an overriding objective to help consolidate both economic restructuring
and the democratization process in Benin. The mission's program focuses
primarily on developing Benin’s human resource base through improving
the quality of and access to basic education and strengthening family
health services in both the private and public sectors. In addition,
USAID/Benin has a cross-cutting objective which aims to improve democratic
governance through democratic institution building, promoting the enabling
environment for private initiatives, and strengthening civil society’s
role in decision-making.
- USAID/Belarus
- The Republic of Belarus (Belarus) is located in eastern Europe. It borders Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. Belarus is divided into six regions (oblast): Brest oblast, Vitebsk oblast, Gomel oblast, Grodno oblast, Minsk oblast and Mogilev oblast. The capital of Belarus is the city of Minsk, which is the biggest political, economic, scientific and cultural center of the country. In the first quarter of 2005 the Republic of Belarus' population was 9.78 million people.
- USAID/Bolivia
- USAID’s assistance program in Bolivia focuses on improving the effectiveness, responsiveness and transparency of local governance, Congress, and the justice system; increased economic opportunities for poor populations through business development and trade; improving health practices and services; increasing the sustainable use of natural resources and biodiversity management; and promotion of social and economic development of rural farm families to reduce illicit coca production.
- USAID/Bosnia and Herzogovina
- The United States Government has pledged $767 million to date for
the reconstruction of Bosnia-Herzegovina. In supportof the Dayton Peace
Accords, USAID assistance is helping to create a stable, democratic
post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina with a functioning free market economy.
Other U.S. support is being provided in the areas of demining, police
training, national and municipal elections and the War Crimes Tribunal.
In addition, the U.S. Government has delivered over $1 billion in humanitarian
assistance to the former Yugoslavia since 1991. USAID/BiH activities
are focused on four objectives:
- Restoring private sector productive capacity to restart production
quickly and create immediate self-sustaining employment.
- Establishing a policy and institutional framework conducive to
the emergence of a market economy, by supporting rapid privatization,
critical macroeconomic reforms, sound fiscal policies, and a viable
banking system.
- Repairing war-damaged infrastructure to facilitate refugee return
and reactivate the local economy.
- Strengthening democratic institutions that promote a multi-ethnic
society and political pluralism by fostering an independent media,
free and fair elections, a responsive and transparent government,
citizen advocacy, and a professional independent judiciary.
- USAID/Brazil
-
The USAID/Brazil team is working to contribute to a number of mutual U.S. and Brazil development goals and objectives, while strengthening a vital partnership that exists between the people of Brazil and of the United States. The projects we support are planned and implemented side-by-side with the Brazilian government, civil society, and the private sector to ensure sustainability and equitable economic and social development.
- USAID/Bulgaria
- The transition from communism has been slow and troubled in Bulgaria. Despite the exceptional progress of the past five years, the country remains very poor by any European standard. Macroeconomic stability and democratic politics have not transformed yet into tangible economic and social improvements. Bulgarians are frustrated and angered by the influence of organized crime and endemic corruption. In a nut shell, democracy and market economy in Bulgaria are stuck in their adolescence.
- USAID/Cambodia
- The USAID Mission to Cambodia is part of a global network, working to improve the lives of the people of Cambodia, particularly the poor in rural areas. To this end, our efforts are concentrated in three core areas: democracy and good governance; basic education; and health, especially as it relates to HIV/AIDS and child survival.
- USAID/CAR
Central Asian Republics
- Since 1992, The USAID Regional Mission for Central Asia (USAID/CAR)
has provided more than $650 million in assistance to the five newly
independent states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan
and Uzbekistan. In support of U.S. foreign policy, USAID's goal in Central
Asia is to expand opportunities for the citizens of these new nations
to fully participate in improving their governance, their livelihoods,
and their quality of life. In these countries, USAID strives to achieve
four shared objectives: increase enterprise and trade, build a more
open, democratic culture, better manage water and energy resources,
and improve quality primary healthcare. In Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan,
USAID also helps improve fiscal policy and management, and more responsive,
accountable local government. Several crosscutting objectives also guide
USAID assistance: reducing corrupt practices, addressing gender bias,
mitigating potential for conflict, and expanding information and knowledge,
especially among youth.
- USAID/Colombia
- USAID Colombia is the entity responsible for the implementation and administration of the
socioeconomic development and humanitarian aid programs of the U.S. Government to Colombia.
The USAID program currently concentrates on three strategic objectives which complement
those of Plan Colombia: promoting economic and social alternatives to illicit crop
production, strengthening and promoting a more efficient, participative and responsible
democracy, and supporting the internally displaced and other vulnerable populations.
USAID'S estimated budget for developing its programs in Colombia between 2000 and 2005
is approximately $624.3 million.
- USAID/Cyprus
- USAID assistance to Cyprus began as a humanitarian relief operation in the summer of 1974 and has since evolved into a multi-sector development program aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of interaction between the estranged and geographically-separated Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities and reducing the significant economic disparity between the communities to reinforce the practical, economic foundation for reunification under a future bi-zonal, bi-communal federation. USAID assistance supports cooperation between individuals and organizations from the two sides in order to reduce tensions and promote a climate that will foster reconciliation and a durable peace settlement. USAID/Cyprus is staffed by six Americans and Cypriots.
- USAID/Dominican Republic
- On January 11, 1962, USAID opened its Mission in the Dominican Republic,
making it one of the first countries in which USAID was active. Early
aid focused on projects in savings and loan associations, irrigation
and private investment activity. Today, USAID's Dominican Republic mission
focuses on three areas: economic growth; health, population and nutrition;
and democracy and governance.
- USAID/East Africa
- Since 1972, USAID/East Africa (previously known as REDSO) has served as one of USAID’s regional platforms in the field. Our team carries out three mandates: providing essential services to USAID missions; managing multi-country and cross-border programs that respond to regional challenges; and administering USAID’s programs in Djibouti, Somalia, Burundi, Central African Republic and the Comoros. Working together with governments in the region and our implementing partners, USAID helps to improve the quality of life for the people of eastern and central Africa.
Burundi
Central African Republic
Djibouti
Somalia
- USAID/Egypt

moderating role in the Middle East, the United States Congress made
Egypt one of the largest U.S. economic assistance programs in the world.

- The United States Agency for International Development Mission to
El Salvador's Our mission is to work in partnership with El Salvador
to reduce poverty and strengthen democratic institutions and practices...and

- USAID/Ethiopia
- USAID began the first phase of its long term development assistance
to Ethiopia in 1995. Total US humanitarian and development assistance
to Ethiopia in FY 1997 was nearly $78 million. USAID's development strategy
focuses on helping Ethiopia feed itself, and strengthening health services,
basic education, and democracy and governance. USAID continues to be
prepared to provide humanitarian assistance in years of poor weather
and low crop yields. Whenever possible, USAID will provide humanitarian
assistance through food-for-work.
- USAID/Georgia
- Despite many significant gains since the Rose Revolution, much remains to be accomplished in Georgia’s
transition to a democracy and free market economy. Several factors stand in the way of economic growth
including: weak capacity of major job sectors to compete in the export market, badly managed state-owned
enterprises including the railway and port, little to no access to finance for small and medium sized enterprises,
and a lack of market oriented skills among entrepreneurs. Additionally, territorial conflicts, corruption,
non-transparency in the administration of taxes and customs fees, dilapidated infrastructure,
and non-reliable energy supply all act as barriers to attracting foreign direct investment.
On the social front, the government’s expenditure of around just 1% of GDP on public health
and education places any economic or political gains at risk.
- USAID/Ghana
- Ghana is one of United States Government's most important partners in sub-Saharan Africa. It is the U.S. Government's third largest trading partner in West Africa and exercises a pivotal role in promoting political and economic stability. Ghana continues to enjoy a stable political environment despite increasing instability in the region.
- USAID/Guatemala
- USAID/Guatemala’s current program builds on the gains of the Peace process that followed the signing of the Peace Accords in December 1996, as well as on the achievements of our 1997-2004 Peace Program. Our current program works to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives by focusing on Guatemala’s potential as Central America’s largest economy and trading partner of the United States, but also recognizes the country’s lagging social indicators and high rate of poverty.
- USAID/Guinea
- The overall USAID program goal in Guinea is "Improved Economic and
Social Well-being of all Guineans in a Participatory Society." USAID/Guinea
pursues this goal by investing in education and human resources within
its basic education, natural resource management, democracy and governance,
and health and family planning programs. Our grass roots poverty alleviation
program not only allows Guinean citizens to improve their wellbeing,
but it also prepares its citizens to be active participants in the country's
transition to a democracy.
- USAID/Haiti
- This site outlines U.S. programs in Haiti to reduce poverty in an
emerging democratic society - the goal of USAID/Haiti and a key component
of U.S. interests in this close Caribbean neighbor. The challenges in
the path of that goal are immense and daunting. In short, there are
too many people and too few resources for the land to support adequately.
As the s ituation in this fragile nation dances always near catastrophe,
we can be encouraged that the people of Haiti are working harder than
ever to improve their lives. USAID, together with its partners and other
donors, plays a vital role in that effort.
- USAID/Honduras
- Honduras, one of Latin America's poorest nations, strives daily to
improve its own economic and democratic development with USAID assistance.

assist Lithuania's transition to the free world. Today, the people of
Lithuania and the United States are in a partnership to build Lithuania's
free-market economy and to develop a democratic society prepared to
meet the challenges of the 21st century and the emerging global economy.
- USAID/Mali
-
The USAID program in Mali was first established in 1961, then rapidly evolved into "Mission" status in the 1970's as the U.S. response to the devastating drought of the time. A tribute to the utility of the developmental partnerships we have undertaken since that time is the fact that Mali has evolved from massive food aid dependence in the 1970's, to being a cereals exporter the 1990's -- and from centrally-planned military rule to one of the most enlightened democracies in the West Africa region. As a tribute to Mali's impressive changes in democracy and economic reform in recent years, the USAID Mission is one of only five "sustainable presence" missions left in West Africa.
- USAID/Mozambique

an emergency food aid program and support for the Government of
Mozambique's policy reforms related to agriculture and food marketing. In
1986, USAID began to assist the re-building and improved management of
Mozambique's regional railroad infrastructure. By 1989, the
USAID program was focused on improving food security for
Mozambicans through policy reform, balance of payments assistance, and
commercial and emergency food aid; it soon grew to include
projects in training, health, and democracy as well.
- USAID/Macedonia
-
The American people, through USAID, have invested over $400 million in Macedonia since 1993. Over 30 projects worth more than $35 million a year are currently being implemented.

They aim to accelerate economic growth, develop democratic institutions, and educate citizens for a modern economy.
- USAID/Madagascar
- USAID assistance to Madagascar supports the U.S. foreign policy goals of promoting good governance and market-driven growth as mechanisms to improve management of Madagascar's unique natural resources, reduce poverty, and improve the health of the general population. A successful program will have numerous benefits, such as reducing vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, improving the country's ability to manage natural disasters, and enhancing its attractiveness as a commercial partner for the U.S.
- USAID/Malawi
- The United States' national interests in Malawi are the promotion of development through market-based economic growth
and support for democratic governance. In 1994, Malawi underwent a peaceful political transition from decades of one-party
autocracy to a multi-party democracy. Accompanying this political transformation were fundamental economic liberalization
and political reforms. With focuses on promoting economic growth, democracy and governance, health, family planning, health
and nutrition, and basic education, USAID Malawi aims to increase economic productivity by addressing critical needs in health and
education
- USAID/MIddle East
- Since its creation in 2005, USAID's Office of Middle East Programs, located in Cairo, Egypt, carries out programs to address regional and cross-border issues in USAID's presence countries. It also serves as a regional hub, providing technical assistance to client USAID missions in the Middle East and North Africa region.
- USAID/Moldova
- The Republic of Moldova, which gained independence in 1991, is an agriculturally rich country that has made steady progress in market reforms and democratization, though challenges remain. Since 1993, USAID has delivered more than $300 million in technical assistance, focused primarily on land and energy sector privatization, health and humanitarian needs, rule of law programs, business development, and financial sector reform.
- USAID/Mongolia
-
Mongolia provides an important example to others in East and Central Asia as well as other parts of the region on how to manage an economic transition from a centrally planned to a free market economy within a democratic political framework. The United States values Mongolia’s contribution to stability in a potentially volatile part of the world, its positive example in promoting economic reform and democracy, and its visible support for the war on terrorism. However, Mongolia’s harsh climate, small domestic market, land-locked status and lack of infrastructure are formidable challenges. USAID’s programs focus on two of Mongolia’s most pressing concerns: strengthening the economy and improving governance.
- USAID/Mozambique
- USAID assistance to Mozambique began during the decade following independence with sporadic humanitarian responses to natural disasters. In 1984, USAID initiated significant emergency food assistance and a policy reform-based commodity import program; and in 1986 began activities to improve Mozambican transport infrastructure of regional importance.
- USAID/Morocco
- A model of tolerance in the Arab world, the Kingdom of Morocco is the United States’ oldest friend and was recently declared to be a major non-NATO ally. Under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, this stable, moderate Arab nation is undertaking a series of bold economic, political and social reforms to improve the quality of life for all Moroccans. Formidable challenges still face the nation, including an under-performing economy and high levels of unemployment and illiteracy. USAID is helping to address those challenges with programs that will contribute to an educated and democratic society successfully competing in the global marketplace.

in developmental and humanitarian assistance. U.S. bilateral development
assistance is administered by USAID. USAID's goal is to assist development
to the point where Nepal can meet the needs of its people on a sustainable
basis with its own resources.

creating new jobs, adherence to democratic principles, and respect for
human rights slows immigration to the United States. Focused efforts
to stem environmental degradation protects vital habitats and helps

mitigate agricultural production losses from the El Niño-produced drought.
- USAID/Nigeria
- In May 1999, Nigeria ushered in a new era of democracy by inaugurating
its first democratically elected government in fifteen years, ending
a cycle of military dictatorships that devastated the country's economic
and social capital. Nigerians have cause to be optimistic with the country's
political transition. Engagement and partnership with the international
community are replacing sanctions and isolation. At the same time, Nigeria
has begun to slowly rebuild an economy derailed by years of corruption
and mismanagement, and reclaim its position of leadership in Africa.

of the international community to address threats to peace and stability
in Africa. Third, the United States' strongest ally, the United Kingdom,
is heavily committed to Sierra Leone's successful transition from war
to peace and prosperity. The U.K. is presently programming approximately
$60 million in assistance to Sierra Leone per year. USAID's program

The Democratic Governance program has worked to strengthen democratic institutions and build capacity in civil society, and the Humanitarian Assistance programs have provided services to children traumatized by armed conflict and support for the disabled. USAID’s country development program plays a significant role in supporting the peace process and inculcating an environment conducive to prosperity and equity for all regions, ethnic and religious groups in Sri Lanka. Following the wholesale destruction imparted by the tsunami disaster of December 2004, the priorities of USAID/Sri Lanka changed dramatically to face the challenge of rebuilding the lives of the survivors – nearly all of whom are traumatized in one way or another – and their destroyed communities.
- USAID/Timor Leste
