USAFRICOM & USAID in Africa

"USAID's new development approach incorporates best practices used by other agencies, Shad said. He pointed to Peace Corps, which engages young volunteers to implement development projects, and to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, which mobilizes private capital to help solve development challenges. Another example is the Millennium Challenge Corporation, which conditions aid on a country's willingness to govern justly, promote a free market economy [by letting U.S. corporations easy access to developing worlds' natural resources] and invest in its people."
