About USAID
When the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was created, it brought together several existing foreign assistance organizations and programs. Until then, there had never been a single agency charged with foreign economic development, so with the passage of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (pdf) by Congress, U.S. foreign assistance activities underwent a major transformation. Leading this transformation was President John F. Kennedy. President Kennedy recognized the need to unite development into a single agency responsible for administering aid to foreign countries to promote social and economic development. On November 3, 1961, USAID was born and with it a spirit of progress and innovation. November 3, 2011 marked USAID's 50th Anniversary of providing U.S. foreign development assistance From the American People. USAID's culture continues to serve as a reflection of core American values--values that are rooted in a belief for doing the right thing. |

The goals of social franchising are to improve results in health, equity, quality of services, cost-effectiveness, and new user - ship. A group of researchers, programs, implementers, and funders from around the world—the Metrics Working Group— has developed global performance metrics to measure progress toward these goals.
