United States Agency for International Development

USAID is a government agency that has been a leader in development and practice since its inception in 1961. This grant will support the Frontiers in Development conference and the conference's accompanying publications. The objective is to strengthen the analysis, design, and implementation of programs and policies aimed at fostering development and reducing poverty in developing countries.

This supplemental grant will support the United States Agency for International Development’s Evidence & Innovation Day. The event will showcase ways in which United States foreign aid is used in high-impact, evidence-based ways, and will foster relationships between individuals and organizations that can help them use evidence in their work. A previous Hewlett Foundation grant provided core funding for the event. This funding will support videotaping speeches, panels, and training sessions.
