As a federal government agency, the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID) is subject to applicable U.S. environmental
laws, regulations, Executive Orders and procedures that ensure
the wise use of the taxpayer’s money. Effective implementation
of these through state of the art environmental impact assessment
ensures that the development activities USAID undertakes
are not only economically sustainable but are protective
of the world’s environment on which we and future generations
all depend.
Implementation and compliance within USAID is coordinated
and enforced by a team of professional environmental staff
led by the Agency Environmental Coordinator and a network
of Bureau Environmental Officers, Regional
Environmental Advisors, Mission
Environmental Officers and the Biosafety Review Advisor.
