The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the United States Government agency primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid. Responding to President Barack Obama's pledge in his 2013 State of the Union Address to "join with our allies to eradicate extreme poverty in the next two decades," USAID has adopted as its mission statement "to partner to end extreme poverty and to promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing the security and prosperity of the United States." USAID operates in Africa, Asia, Latin America , The Middle East and Eastern Europe. President John F. Kennedy created USAID from its predecessor agencies in 1961 by executive order. USAID's programs are authorized by the Congress in the Foreign Assistance Act, which the Congress supplements through directions in annual funding appropriation acts and other legislation. Although technically an independent federal agency, USAID operates subject to the foreign policy guidance of the President, Secretary of State, and the National Security Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ADS Chapter 101.2 Agency Programs and Functions )〕 ==Goals== USAID's decentralized network of resident field missions is drawn on to manage US government (USG) programs in low-income countries for a range of purposes. * Disaster relief * Poverty relief * Technical cooperation on global issues, including the environment * U.S. bilateral interests * Socioeconomic development 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Agency for International Development」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
