2013 USAID Research Report to Congress

With strong support from the U.S. Presidential Administration and Congress, USAID is looking to science and technology to bring new solutions to existing challenges as the Agency continues to apply novel technical tools to diminish barriers and build partnerships to advance health around the world. These efforts help to discover the most efficient and sustainable means to ensure healthy, productive populations in developing countries, which are aligned with U.S. goals to end extreme poverty and promote peace and prosperity worldwide. The fulfillment of these goals will improve security at home and enhance markets for U.S. businesses abroad.
