Our Partnership
The United States has an unwavering and longstanding commitment to Africa.
We engage African countries early and often as partners in pursuing our shared interests and values – from security, global health, climate change, freedom and democracy, and shared prosperity.
Our priorities:
- Boost agricultural productivity through the Feed the Future Initiative to address the root causes of chronic hunger and poverty and spur economic growth in a region with incredible resources and arable land.
- Strengthen health systems to support countries to help their children survive, overcome the threat of malaria, give mothers support to give birth safely, and turn the tide against the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the continent.
- Support democracy, human rights, and good governance to assist governments to fight corruption, expand space for civil society, help citizens choose their leadership, and strengthen the trend toward democratization.
- Increase resilience to climate change to help communities adapt to erratic rainfall and longer, harsher droughts—weather effects we know will hit Africa hardest.
- Lead quick responses to humanitarian crises to save lives and help prevent instability and loss, critical in a region prone to destabilizing droughts and food emergencies.
