US will focus development efforts on countries like Tanzania said President Obama at UN MDG Summit September 2010
At the September 2010 United Nations Millennium Development Goals meeting, U.S. President Obama unveiled to world leaders a new plan for distributing U.S. aid to struggling nations.
According to the President, over the long run, democracy and economic growth go hand in hand and aid will be directed mostly to governments seen as trying to help their countries climb out of poverty and become self-reliant. As such, the United States will focus their development efforts on countries like Tanzania that promote good governance and democracy, the rule of law and equal administration of justice, transparent institutions with strong civil societies and respect for human rights.
