Foreign Aid in the National Interest (Summary)
January 9, 2003

by US Agency for International Development

In September 2002, the Bush Administration released a new US National Security Strategy. The Strategy names development policy as one of three pillars for the United States' international role, along with diplomacy and defense. AID's "Foreign Aid in the National Interest," summarized in this document, details how US development assistance will contribute to this new approach.

The report summarized in this document has one central message -- that "foreign assistance will be a key instrument of [US] foreign policy in the coming decades." Among other objectives, US development assistance will advance six key goals of US foreign policy:

* Promoting democratic governance;

* Driving economic growth;

* Improving people's health;

* Mitigating conflict;

* Providing humanitarian aid; and

* Accounting for private foreign aid.
