Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
President George W. Bush created the Center for Faith Based
Initiatives at USAID by executive order on December 12, 2002
in order to work to level the playing field so that faith-based
and community-based groups could compete for funding on a
level playing field with other organizations. The Center and
its staff of five are located within the Administrator's Bureau
at USAID in Washington DC.
| "Government
cannot be replaced by charities, but it can and should
welcome them as partners. We must heed the growing consensus
across America that successful government social programs
work in fruitful partnership with community-serving
and faith-based organizations - whether run by Methodists,
Muslims, Mormons, or good people of no faith at all."
~ President George
W. Bush, January 29, 2001 |

"USAID's long-standing successful partnerships
with private voluntary organizations, including faith-based
organizations, have been highly effective and efficient in
implementing USAID programs around the world which non-government
organizations are uniquely qualified to pursue. These partnerships
help USAID maximize its resources."
~ Administrator Andrew Natsios, December 12, 2002
