Remarks by Dr. Rajiv Shah upon his swearing-in as USAID Administrator.
USAID, January 7, 2010
Now is the time for us to step up and deliver against the ambitious goals the President and Secretary have set for us:
To improve lives and fight poverty,
To expand human rights and economic opportunities,
To build democratic institutions and improve governance -
And, in the process, to advance U.S. foreign policy to enhance our own prosperity and security.
We know this will be hard. It will require us to make changes in how we operate and to hold ourselves to higher standards of partnership and accountability. Especially during these tough economic times, we have to demonstrate how we use precious tax dollars to achieve lasting results.
And yet, we take on this responsibility with great confidence - because our success lies in the hands of the talented, dedicated men and women who serve this country at USAID.
