InterAction releases Choose to Invest In Foreign Assistance

 

InterAction’s newest publication, Choose to Invest in Foreign Assistance—Fall 2011, provides essential information on core U.S. government humanitarian and development assistance programs. America is experiencing tough times, but the funding of programs that target global poverty and respond to humanitarian crises is a solid, long-term investment—not only for compassionate reasons but because these accounts within the international affairs budget are a down payment for the stability, security and environmental sustainability of future generations.

InterAction and its 200 members are urging Congress to fund these key accounts that provide assistance to millions because cuts to the international affairs budget limit our ability to help the world’s most poor and vulnerable people. Investing in societies now reaps rewards for years to come and helps avert future military conflicts.
