Explained simply
US foreign aid is money, supplies and other support provided by the government to people and organisations abroad. It can fund health care, food assistance and development, as well as support for countries and international priorities.
The US Agency for International Development, known as USAID, has traditionally managed much of this work. Its leaders operate within the US government, where decisions about aid also involve the president and Congress.
How foreign aid is organised matters because it affects who sets priorities, oversees spending and delivers assistance. It can also shape the United States’ relationships with other countries.
