USAID promotes peace and stability by fostering economic growth, protecting human health, providing emergency humanitarian assistance, and nurturing democracy in developing countries. USAID's work in transformational countries enables these nations to build the capacity to sustain their own progress.

Since 1992, the USAID Regional Mission to Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus has worked with government, non-governmental organizations and civil society to further the processes of democratic development, economic growth and social sector reform in the region. 

Today the regional mission is also providing assistance to fight HIV/AIDS and to combat trafficking in humans. We have become involved in the effort to control the spread of Avian Influenza in Ukraine and Moldova as well. Energy efficiency is receiving renewed interest in Ukraine today, and we are looking at activities in this area too. USAID is also supporting the United States Millenium Challenge Corporation in developing additional assistance for Ukraine and Moldova.
