USAID-AMERICA: What Do We Do
A New Chapter for USAID: USAID-AMERICA: a Philosophy of Caring
and Self Power Building:
Serving Humanity with Integrity And Efficiency
For years, USAID has been a prominent name in international aid and development. For years, USAID has poured resources into Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) programs across the globe. The intention, of course, has always been noble: to foster stable, just, and equitable societies. However, the reality is that these programs often became entangled in local politics, breeding corruption and exacerbating existing conflicts. We believe it’s time for a new approach. It’s time to prioritize a Philosophy of Caring and Self Power Building organizational model that frees us from involvement with government structures in countries and enables us to address the human needs of the people.
The truth is, "democracy," "human rights," and even "governance" are loaded terms. They are interpreted and implemented differently depending on cultural context, historical background, and deeply held political beliefs. What one nation considers a fundamental right, another might view it as a luxury. What one society deems democratic, another may see as inherently unstable. This dissonance inevitably leads to friction and resentment when external actors attempt to impose specific models.
Congress and others have “highlighted an uncomfortable truth about USAID: that, for decades, it has been an essential arm of American imperialism that often serves as a tool for regime change, election interference, and the destabilization of countries around the world.” While the USAID programs were intended to be catalysts for positive change, instead they became pawns in power struggles. Funds earmarked for crucial reforms would be siphoned off, legal frameworks twisted to benefit specific factions, and the very concept of democracy weaponized to silence dissent. The result? Instability, corruption, fraud, mistrust, and a widening gap between citizens and their government. You can’t blame the workers of USAID; you must blame the leaders.
USAID-AMERICA will not be operating Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) programs because they lead to corruption and political conflicts.
At USAID-AMERICA, we believe in progress and innovation, and that sometimes, that means charting a new course. That's why we're excited to announce a shift in our operational philosophy, one that we believe will lead to more effective and impactful aid delivery.
You'll find a wealth of information about our programs and services right here on usaid-america.com. Many of the essential services previously offered by USAID will continue under our banner, but with a critical difference: a renewed focus on the needs of humanity, independent of political structures.
We've made the conscious decision to move away from Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) programs. This wasn't an easy choice. However, we've observed that DRG initiatives, despite their good intentions, can be susceptible to corruption and political biases, ultimately hindering the very communities they aim to serve. We believe that tying aid to specific governance structures can inadvertently create dependencies and even exacerbate existing inequalities. The Pay to Play Game becomes more important than serving the needs of humanity.
Instead, USAID-AMERICA will be embracing a "Philosophy of Caring" and Self Power Building (Please refer to The Birth: The Rebrand section of this website). What does this mean in practice? It means that our focus will be squarely on alleviating suffering, providing essential resources, and empowering individuals to build better lives, regardless of their government's policies. World leaders disagree on governmental principles, but they can all agree on the Philosophy of Caring. When we get them to focus on “caring” rather than “governance” this enables us to move away from pay to play and instead focus on humanity needs.
This means prioritizing the fundamental needs of individuals and communities, regardless of their government or political affiliation. This philosophy is rooted in a fundamental belief: that the needs of humanity should be paramount, transcending political structures and government policies. We're talking about access to clean water, nutritious food, essential healthcare, quality education, and economic empowerment opportunities. These are the building blocks of stable and thriving societies, and they are the areas where we believe we can have the most significant and lasting impact.
Our "Philosophy of Caring" is built on principles of impartiality, transparency, and accountability. We're committed to ensuring that our resources reach those who need them most, free from political interference and bureaucratic bottlenecks. We believe that by focusing on the core needs of human beings, we can foster genuine and sustainable development from the ground up.
With our Philosophy Of Caring Program, that includes caring for our people in the United States. We will be including the United States as a part of the International community and will be providing programs and services for them also.
We are confident that our commitment to a "Philosophy of Caring" will lead to a more just and equitable world for all. Join us on this journey as we redefine international aid and prioritize the well-being of humanity above all else. Together, we can make a difference.
