Purse strings in Rubio Mob Mitts

  

"The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is an  

independent agency of the United States government  

that is primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance. 

 With a budget of over $50 billion USAID is one of the largest official aid agencies in the world and accounts for more than half of all U.S. foreign assistance – the highest in the world in absolute dollar terms.  

USAID has missions in over 100 countries, 

 primarily in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe." 

USAID's decentralized network of resident field missions is drawn on to manage U.S. government programs in low-income countries for various purposes.

Disaster relief 

Poverty relief 

Technical cooperation on global issues, including the environment 

U.S. bilateral interests 

Socioeconomic development  

"Under the Bush administration, for instance, it emerged that all five implementing partners selected to bid on a $600 million Iraq reconstruction contract enjoyed close ties to the administration."  

  The PLO said 'the USAID condition was nothing more than an attempt  

"to impose political solutions prepared in the kitchens of Western intelligence agencies 

 to weaken the rights and principles of Palestinians, especially the right of return." 

"In 2003, Congress passed a law providing U.S. government funds to private groups to help fight AIDS  

and other diseases all over the world through USAID grants. 

 One of the conditions imposed by the law on grant recipients 

 was a requirement to have "a policy explicitly opposing prostitution and sex trafficking". 

 

'During the 1990s, USAID was implicated in the 

 forced sterilization of approximately 300,000 indigenous women in Peru.

 as part of the country's Plan Verde.  

Population control guidelines promoted by international bodies, including USAID, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Nippon Foundation,  

supported the Fujimori government's sterilization efforts. 

 forced sterilizations continued until President Fujimori fled to Japan in 2000"
