 The following is a statement from Raymond C. Offenheiser, President of Oxfam America, on Secretary Rice's announcement of USAID restructuring.
Secretary Rice announced a momentous overhaul of the State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) that will certainly change the way the US helps the poor across the world. The steps she has proposed as part of her "Transformational Diplomacy" initiative posting more diplomats in poor countries and crisis zones, focus on teaching more languages used in the developing world, and ensuring that the State Department can evolve to face a post-Cold War world are to be commended.
As an international organization committed to long term solutions to poverty and hunger, we want to see US taxpayer money used as effectively as possible to make the biggest difference for the billion people across the world that struggle to survive on just a dollar a day. As an independent organization that does not pursue or accept USAID funding but works alongside USAID initiatives, we recognize the magnitude and importance of this restructuring.
