Launch of USAID’s Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance Policy

Join the Wilson Center and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) virtually to celebrate the release of USAID’s new Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) Policy on Thursday, July 18, at 1 p.m. EDT.

The DRG Policy reaffirms and renews USAID’s steadfast commitment to democratic governance and human rights by outlining approaches for enhancing the effectiveness of the United States’ support for democratic development. It will serve as a foundation for Agency-wide efforts to continue USAID’s role as a global leader in promoting DRG.

This event will showcase how USAID and its partners are addressing new and emerging threats to democratic development. This includes our collective efforts to counter corruption, malign influence, manipulation of elections, information manipulation, attacks on reformers and democracy champions, and more.
