I would like to starttodaywith a story aboutAmericathat oftengoesuntold.It's the storyof whatcanhappen around the world whenAmericanknow-how,Americandollars,andAmericanvalues put to work to change people's are lives. The questionI'd like to address today is why development othercountries in mattersto our peopleandto our nation's securityandprosperity. a Our nation seeks safer,moreprosperous, and moredemocratic, more equitable world. We cannot be assured that progress when one-thirdof humankind of live in conditions which offer them little chance buildingbetterlives of for themselves their children.We cannotbuild a stableglobal economywhen hundreds millions of workersand their or of familiesfind themselves the wrong sideof globalizalion, off from markets on and out of reachof moderntechnologies. cut We cannotadvance democracy humanrights whenhungerandpovertythreaten undermine good governance rule of and the to and law needed makerightsreal. We cannotstop globalpandemics to until billions of peoplegain access betterhealthcare,and to we cannot address climatechange scarcer or resources turtil billions gain access greener to energy andsustainable livelihoods. Development was once the province of humanitarians, charities,and governments looking to gain allies in global struggles. Todayit is a strategic, economic, moral imperative ascentralto advancing and privateinterests solvingglobal and -problemsas diplomacyor defense.

Additionally,we are concentrating work in what development our expertscall sectorsand what I think of as areasof convergence. Going forward,we will target our investment and developtechnicalexcellence a few key areas, in like health, agriculture, securif, education, energy,and loeal governance. our Then,we are increasing nation'sinvestrnent innovation. in New technologies are allowing billions of people to leapfrog into the 2lstcentury after missing out on 20th-century breakthroughs.
