USAID,
USAID’s programs, projects and activities assist communities in building greater resilience and, ultimately, becoming self-reliant. Agency decision-makers must balance the potential benefits of activities that aim to build resilience with the possibility that such efforts could have unintended adverse impacts on people and communities. To assist decision-makers in preventing or mitigating such impacts, USAID has a number of policies, guidelines, and vision statements that address issues faced by marginalized people and communities, including:
• Land, property and resource rights
• Human rights
• Environment
• Indigenous Peoples’ rights
• Labor
• Health and Safety
• Inclusive Development
