USAID
USAID’s efforts directly enhance American—and global—security and prosperity. The United States is safer and stronger when fewer people face destitution, when our trading partners are flourishing, when nations around the world can withstand crisis, and when societies are freer, more democratic, and more inclusive, protecting the basic rights and human dignity of all citizens. By focusing on these two goals, together, we position ourselves to meet the challenges of today while mitigating the risks of tomorrow.

why are you posting this here?

Primarily because everybody is getting into the small details. Leads appear to be running dry. Plenty more to be looked into. Loads of names. We have an idea of method, but who could implement such an internal ring is still in the air. Trying to spark ideas.
Besides, I have no idea how many people have actually tried to look into the government resources. There's a ton of information in these places that most people seem to miss.
