Towards a comprehensive United States' development effort

As the world’s largest bilateral donor, economy and diplomatic power, the United States has played a major role in shaping ambitious global development policies – including Agenda 2030, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement. It regularly launches initiatives to tackle global public risks and provide global public goods. Combined and targeted actions on the diplomatic front and leadership in international fora – from the G7 and G20 to the United Nations – allow the US to engage partners and gain support for achieving shared objectives.
