The following is a list of USAID missions that have an internet presence available to the public. This should not be considered an inclusive list of all USAID missions. For a more inclusive list of missions with contact information, please go to the USAID Mission Directory.

USAID/Albania
Albania’s rapid transition from one of the most isolated, repressive and totalitarian regimes of post-WWII Europe to an economy based on the rule of law is as bumpy as its potholed roads. It is one of the poorest countries in Europe and suffers from debilitating political infighting, endemic corruption and trafficking in humans. However, the country is slowly making progress in its anti-corruption efforts and democratic and economic reform. USAID has invested over $386 million since 1992 in programs that assist the Albanian people on their new road to democracy and a free-market economy. We welcome your visit to our web site to read about our accomplishments and challenges.

USAID/Armenia
USAID/Armenia is committed to working in partnership with Armenians for a prosperous and stable country that offers equal opportunity to all its citizens. This can be achieved only through a strong democracy and market economy, governed by the rule of law, which promotes the general welfare of the people. Please visit our web site for more information about the USAID/Armenia program.

USAID/Bangladesh
Since Bangladesh gained independence in 1971, USAID has provided more than $4.3 billion in bilateral assistance to the country. Food aid accounts for nearly half of that amount. With USAID assistance, Bangladesh is realizing significant improvements in living conditions for its people. Now, Bangladeshis have better access to health care, and enjoy increased agricultural outputs, improved nutrition, and access to electricity. Our programs work with communities to assist with disaster preparedness and improve their ability to manage food relief when a disaster does strike.

USAID/Benin
The USAID Mission to Benin was re-established in December 1991 with an overriding objective to help consolidate both economic restructuring and the democratization process in Benin. The mission's program focuses primarily on developing Benin’s human resource base through improving the quality of and access to basic education and strengthening family health services in both the private and public sectors. In addition, USAID/Benin has a cross-cutting objective which aims to improve democratic governance through democratic institution building, promoting the enabling environment for private initiatives, and strengthening civil society’s role in decision-making.

USAID/Bosnia and Herzogovina

In addition, the U.S. Government has delivered over $1 billion in humanitarian assistance to the former Yugoslavia since 1991. USAID/BiH activities are focused on four objectives:
  1. Restoring private sector productive capacity to restart production quickly and create immediate self-sustaining employment.
  2. Establishing a policy and institutional framework conducive to the emergence of a market economy, by supporting rapid privatization, critical macroeconomic reforms, sound fiscal policies, and a viable banking system.
  3. Repairing war-damaged infrastructure to facilitate refugee return and reactivate the local economy.
  4. Strengthening democratic institutions that promote a multi-ethnic society and political pluralism by fostering an independent media, free and fair elections, a responsive and transparent government, citizen advocacy, and a professional independent judiciary.

Since 1992, The USAID Regional Mission for Central Asia (USAID/CAR) has provided more than $650 million in assistance to the five newly independent states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. In support of U.S. foreign policy, USAID's goal in Central Asia is to expand opportunities for the citizens of these new nations to fully participate in improving their governance, their livelihoods, and their quality of life. In these countries, USAID strives to achieve four shared objectives: increase enterprise and trade, build a more open, democratic culture, better manage water and energy resources, and improve quality primary healthcare. In Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, USAID also helps improve fiscal policy and management, and more responsive, accountable local government. Several crosscutting objectives also guide USAID assistance: reducing corrupt practices, addressing gender bias, mitigating potential for conflict, and expanding information and knowledge, especially among youth.

USAID/Guinea pursues this goal by investing in education and human resources within its basic education, natural resource management, democracy and governance, and health and family planning programs.

The challenges in the path of that goal are immense and daunting. In short, there are too many people and too few resources for the land to support adequately.

USAID, together with its partners and other donors, plays a vital role in that effort.

USAID/Mali
The USAID program in Mali was first established in 1961, then rapidly evolved into "Mission" status in the 1970's as the U.S. response to the devastating drought of the time. A tribute to the utility of the developmental partnerships we have undertaken since that time is the fact that Mali has evolved from massive food aid dependence in the 1970's, to being a cereals exporter the 1990's -- and from centrally-planned military rule to one of the most enlightened democracies in the West Africa region.

Peacekeeping Force, defines Sierra Leone as a critical test of the will and capacity of the international community to address threats to peace and stability in Africa.
