Embassy of the United States Jakarta, Indonesia

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) mission in Indonesia is headed by the Mission Director and Deputy Mission Director. USAID is helping accelerate Indonesia's democratic transition through civil society and media development, strengthening democratic institutions, and conflict prevention and mitigation. Policy assistance and advice to key economic institutions and other economic aid promotes economic recovery and growth. In support of Indonesia's decentralization process, USAID programs support improved local service delivery and budget planning in sectors such as natural resource management and health. To reduce the threat of conflict and crisis in Indonesia related to ethnic and religious violence, USAID provides humanitarian support to internally displaced persons and victims of natural disasters. Finally, USAID activities address health sector priorities such as child survival, family planning and HIV/AIDS. In implementing this broad-based, strategic assistance program, USAID works collaboratively with the Government of Indonesia and other donor agencies, and with Indonesian and international partner organizations.
