USAID's Mission in Brazil supports Brazilian efforts to work toward sustainable development

Established in 1961, USAID's mission is to promote sustainable development and improve the quality of life for people around the world. The agency's efforts focus on long-range economic and social development activities, particularly in education, health, public administration, and social justice. USAID's four principal areas of work include global health, economic growth, democracy, and humanitarian response. The agency recognizes that each of these areas is essential for sustainable development and contributes to the success of the others. Effective institutions of democratic governance and vibrant civil society organizations are considered essential foundations of sustainable development, and USAID encourages the development of such institutions in the countries where it works. USAID's approach to development emphasizes the importance of creating an enabling environment that supports development and humanitarian actions by individuals and communities. The agency encourages investments in human and institutional capacity at the local level and fosters strategic partnerships among state, society, and market actors. USAID's activities are designed to promote stability and sustainability, rather than focusing on short-term solutions. In Brazil, USAID's mission is to support the country's efforts towards sustainable development. The agency works closely with the Brazilian government, civil society organizations, and private sector partners to address key development challenges. USAID's priorities in Brazil focus on environmental protection, health, and education, with a particular emphasis on biodiversity, climate change, HIV/AIDS prevention, and support for at-risk youth. USAID's work in Brazil is primarily carried out through partnerships with U.S. and Brazilian non-governmental organizations, government agencies, and national programs. The agency leverages its resources and expertise to support innovative and cost-effective solutions to development problems, with a focus on strengthening civil society and promoting sustainable development. By working together with its partners, USAID aims to create a more stable and prosperous future for the people of Brazil and the region.
