USAID UNVEILS ITS NEW DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND GOVERNANCE POLICY

The policy was unveiled halfway through a record election year, with more than
60 national elections taking place across the globe.

By Elissa Miolene // 22 July 2024

The U.S. Agency for International Development has launched its new democracy,
human rights, and governance policy, providing guidance for those working on the
agency’s multibillion-dollar democracy portfolio.

Last year, USAID obligated $1.8 billion toward democracy, human rights, and
governance work, funding 830 activities across more than 100 countries. That
includes monitoring elections, strengthening independent media, and elevating
anti-corruption measures through policy, among other activities. In 2023, nearly
$260 million of USAID’s democracy-related funds were channeled to Ukraine,
according to data from ForeignAssistance.gov.

“Democracy is in need of liberation. The data is sobering — it has been now for
years and years,” said USAID Administrator Samantha Power, speaking at the
policy’s launch event in Washington, D.C. on Thursday. “It is more important
than ever that we, collectively, focus our resources in as smart a way as we
can, in as proven a way as we can, in as impactful a way as we can.”
