The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)<https://www.usaid.gov/pacific-islands> is the lead U.S. government agency that works to end global poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies. USAID assistance to Pacific Island countries focuses on helping communities to better manage the negative effects of extreme variations in climate across the region and HIV/AIDS prevention, control and treatment in Papua New Guinea. USAID works with Pacific Island governments, bilateral and multilateral donors and the private sector to ensure that USAID programs have the greatest possible impact.

USAID helps the Pacific Island countries reduce vulnerability to natural disasters and environmental degradation; supports disaster risk reduction and recovery; and assist the government and civil society in Papua New Guinea to expand HIV prevention, care and treatment.
