Overview

The U.S. and Russia need to engage each other on global issues that require international collaboration. During Russia’s recent economic growth, it has increasingly invested in improving the well-being of its citizens and greatly increased its contribution to global welfare. The USAID program in Russia plays an important role in support of these efforts by cooperating with both governmental, non-governmental (NGO), and corporate partners to promote a healthy, inclusive, and well-governed society.

Since 1992, USAID has devoted more than $2.6 billion to Russia’s development. Today, USAID supports projects in the areas of health, civil society, rule of law, local governance, and conflict mitigation. USAID is also building alliances with Russian government agencies and the corporate sector to mobilize new resources and expand the reach and impact of successful development models.
