USAID's American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) Initiative provides assistance to overseas schools, libraries, and hospitals that serve as study and demonstration centers for American ideas and practices.
ASHA's mission is distinct from that of other USAID programs because of its focus on public diplomacy. ASHA works to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and people of other countries by strengthening local capacity and leadership. ASHA is part of the Bureau for Inclusive Growth, Partnerships and Innovation's Local, Faith and Transformative Partnerships (IPI/LFT) Hub.
