Abstract: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was an independent agency of the United States government, authorized by the US Congress under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (Public Law 87-195). USAID, working with multilateral, government, and nongovernmental partners, provided humanitarian aid and development assistance globally that reduced poverty, protected the public from infectious diseases, reduced food and water insecurity, and promoted democracy to support US interests.
