Investing In People
Health and education are crucial for the sustainable development of Turkmenistan. USAID seeks to improve the overall quality of health care by supporting the strengthening of health systems to institutionalize innovations and best practices. Turkmenistan’s health portfolio is focused increasingly on tuberculosis control and HIV/AIDS prevention activities. USAID’s investments continue to generate a great deal of public trust and goodwill, which directly contribute to the U.S. Government’s “peace and security” priorities. In the sphere of education, USAID promotes effective, accountable, and sustainable formal and non-formal education systems that utilize modern methodologies and emphasize critical thinking. USAID works to increase the capacity of teachers to deliver lessons using interactive methodology, and supports improved school management through training for school administrators. In higher education, USAID supports the use of information and communication technology to promote student learning and professional development in higher education institutions.
