USAID Forward
As outlined by the USAID Administrator, Dr. Rajiv Shah, it is USAID’s responsibility to ensure we are investing every dollar of American taxpayer money in the most effective, efficient and transparent way possible. USAID Forward reforms are designed to reach these goals while improving the effectiveness and sustainability of development.
