Welcome to
USAID
Welcome to USAID/Philippines!
USAID is fortunate to be working with highly
capable and committed Filipino partners from both the public and the
private sectors, and NGOs. Together, we are carrying out a broad
range of innovative programs to promote investments and good
governance for stimulating economic growth and job creation; achieve
peace and prosperity in Mindanao and other conflict-affected areas;
strengthen local governments; improve health and family planning
services; strengthen management of natural resources; and increase
access to quality education in disadvantaged areas.
The Philippines has made significant progress.
But, much more remains to be done. Success in addressing its
sustainable development challenges is the key to the Philippines
being able to compete in the global economy; alleviate poverty and
improve the quality of life for all Filipinos; and help overcome the
global problems of rapid population growth, environmental
degradation and infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and
tuberculosis.
We invite you to visit our website to learn
more about USAID’s programs and activities in the Philippines. And,
please be sure to read our “success
stories” to see the difference that our development programs
are making in the lives of the Filipino people. To visit our

Mabuhay!
