USAID Policy Address on Democracy and Development

U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator Samantha Power will deliver a policy address to discuss how despite years of democratic decline and the rise of authoritarianism across the world, the current moment presents a pivotal opportunity to reverse these trends and create a more democratic, peaceful, and prosperous future. In this critical time, the world’s free nations, multilateral institutions, private sector partners, and civil societies can demonstrate that democracies can deliver in a way that autocracies never will, and meet the global challenges we face from food insecurity to COVID-19 to climate change.
