Gender equality is a necessary component of development work as it ensures that women and men have equal opportunities to realize their full potentials and to contribute to the economic and social development of their country.  USAID/Russia considers gender to be a cross-cutting theme throughout programming and is committed to providing development assistance that improves the lives of women, men and children in Russia.  When gender is considered as part of programming, development programs are more likely to achieve their desired outcomes, result in greater social equity and lead to lasting transformational development.  Implementing partners should take gender into consideration when designing their own projects under USAID programs.

As a federal government agency, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is subject to applicable U.S. environmental laws, regulations, Executive Orders and procedures that ensure the wise use of the taxpayer's money. Effective implementation of these through state of the art environmental impact assessment ensures that the development activities USAID undertakes are not only economically sustainable but are protective of the world's environment on which we and future generations all depend.
