Needed: A Twenty-First Century Vision for Economic Assistance

Abstract

U.S. economic assistance programs lack a viable strategic vision that addresses U.S. interests, projects American values, and addresses global problems that we will be dealing with in the twenty-first century. Unless we develop a new strategic vision, we will make little or no progress in fashioning a more successful economic assistance program; the remaining public and Congressional support for economic aid will continue to erode; and we may soon lose much of the existing funding levels. Without a credible strategic vision for economic assistance, the President may soon find himself without a principal instrument for developing partnerships with the developing and transitional economies -- whose stability and prosperity is proving increasingly more important to us as we enter the twenty-first century.
