USAID's Investments for Education and Social Services in Asia Regional - Dollars to Results
FY 2011 $0.7 M
FY 2012 $0.6 M
Why Our Work Matters…
Education impacts health, economic growth, and food security. Across the world, increasing the average level of higher education in a country by just one year can add half a percentage point of growth to gross domestic product.
The common thread among all USAID education programs in Asia is they help underserved and marginalized groups gain the general skills and knowledge needed to function effectively in all aspects of their lives. The programs provide equitable access to relevant and quality educational opportunities, including literacy and workforce development, in areas of high youth unemployment and underdevelopment and in crisis or conflict-affected areas.
USAID'S EDUCATION AND SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAM IN ASIA AIMS TO:
- Support higher education; and
- Provide social assistance and services for vulnerable populations.
Disclaimer: Dollars to Results links spending in a fiscal year to results reported for that same year.
