CROSSCUTTING PROGRAMS
In addition to the major programs discussed, USAID/Philippines is engaged in a variety of Other Activities including:
Humanitarian Assistance
In times of calamity, USAID provides short-term humanitarian assistance to the Philippines as well as other countries within
the region.
Gender and Development
USAID recognizes that effective development assistance strategies which stimulate economic growth, promote good governance,
peace and development, alleviate poverty, prevent environmental degradation, improve health and quality of life, and support
human rights, must take into account the situation of men and women. USAID programs in the Philippines take into consideration
how activities should be designed to ensure gender equity, participation and access to opportunities and resources in all
sectors.
Participant Training
USAID supports and funds training (in-country, to another country, or to the U.S.) for participants under specific areas of
our programs.
