Shah Sworn In As USAID Administrator
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 07, 2010
Press Office: 202-712-4320
Public Information: 202-712-4810
www.usaid.gov
WASHINGTON, DC - The following is the text
of the remarks from Dr. Rajiv Shah upon his swearing-in today
as USAID Administrator.
DR. RAJIV SHAH REMARKS:
Thank you very much.
When I began preparing my remarks for today,
I asked my wife, Shivam, for advice.
She told me -- when you get on stage and everyone is cheering
for Secretary Clinton, just pretend they're cheering for you.
Shivam, thank you for all of your good
advice, but of course for so much more.
Secretary Clinton, thank you for your moving words and gracious
introduction.
We're fortunate to have a Secretary of State with such passion,
knowledge and commitment - born from decades of personal dedication
to this cause. Madame Secretary, I speak for all of us here in
saying we are inspired and honored by your powerful example.
Secretary Vilsack, thank you for being
here. It has been a great privilege to serve this Administration
at the Department of Agriculture, and I will remain deeply committed
to the work we began to strengthen science and improve nutrition,
wellness and food security in our nation and around the globe.
When the opportunity to join USAID presented itself, you encouraged
me to follow my passion - and it is my passion for development
that brings me here today.
I would also like to thank Senator Lugar
for joining us. Thank you Senator, for your leadership, guidance
and support.
I also want to thank Alonzo Fulgham for
his outstanding work as Acting Administrator and his tireless
advocacy on behalf of development and the people of USAID.
It's nice to see so many friends of development
and USAID with us today - our colleagues from the White House,
State Department, Pentagon and other agencies, including the
Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator, the Millennium Challenge
Corporation, and the Congress. And it's an honor to see so many
of our valued partners - from partner governments, NGOs and the
private sector.
I am also honored to be in the presence
of our former Administrators - McPherson, Natsios, and Fore -
who have left us such a strong legacy.
I have come to really believe in the African
proverb that suggests "if you want to go fast, go alone
- but if you want to go far, go together."
We want to work together with all of you
to go as far as our vision and talents will take us.
Yesterday, Secretary Clinton articulated a powerful call to action
for us. Her charge builds on the President's bold vision to embrace
development as indispensable to American foreign policy.
As a result, we find ourselves at a unique moment of opportunity.
A powerful consensus has formed across this government, at the
highest levels, that development is vital to both our national
security and the shared interests of an interconnected world.
And with a billion people living in hunger
and with the growing threat of climate change, we know the scale
and complexity of the challenges we face have grown. But our
capacity to tackle these problems has never been greater.
This agency stands ready to seize this
moment.
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.
I know we can do this, because of people
like Dr. Julia Becker-Richards. She has dedicated her life to
creating education and health opportunities for Guatemala's Mayan
population, at times facing great personal danger. She has changed
the lives of thousands of people.
Dr. Becker-Richards demonstrated her resolve
working as a Personal Services Contractor, and became part of
the Development Leadership Initiative, which aims to double the
size of USAID Foreign Service corps so we can effectively execute
our mission.
I know we can meet our goals, because of
people like Ms. Gartini Isa. In Indonesia, she helped to nurture
a new generation of leaders willing to stand up for human rights.
The seeds she helped to plant have grown Indonesia into one of
Southeast Asia's great democratic success stories. She was one
of more than 4000 Foreign Service Nationals at the Agency whose
service is essential to the success of our mission.
Last year, they were both awarded one of
the agency's highest honors, the John Withers Memorial Award.
Many of our development professionals have
endured hardship. You have spent time away from your families,
and even put your lives on the line to help others help themselves.
In fact, forty percent of our Foreign Service Officers have served
in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Sudan. Every time we enter
this building for work, we pass a powerful display on the wall
with the names of colleagues who have given their lives in service
of our mission.
This personal courage and commitment to
serve others is a side of America more people need to see. Our
workers in the field are the face of America in the communities
we serve. You embody America's values and commitment to help
lift up others along with ourselves.
Each of us has our own story to tell about
the passion that brought us here. But each story speaks to a
common belief: no matter how complex or daunting a challenge
may seem, success is possible.
It is a belief founded not on idealism alone, but on our country's
heritage of turning crisis into progress.
This agency has helped to reduce poverty for millions of people
and helped countries put themselves on the path to sustainable
economic growth.
Through our work in health, including oral
rehydration therapy and immunization, USAID has helped save millions
of lives and contributed to the dramatic reduction of unnecessary
child deaths around the world. Now, we have the opportunity,
through the Global Health Initiative, to save millions more and
create sustainable health systems so that hundreds of millions
of people have the opportunity to lead healthy lives.
We helped spark an agricultural revolution
that created the most dramatic increase in food production in
history - and helped our partner countries in Asia prevent massive
starvation. Now, we have the opportunity, through the Food Security
Initiative, to reverse the unacceptable trend of increasing hunger
in our world - and help tens of millions of people conquer extreme
poverty through agricultural development.
And we've helped people advance democracy, human rights and good
governance in places like Nepal, Ghana and Colombia, among others.
The lessons we have learned in all of these
areas will be critical to our work going forward - in places
like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.
But if we are to fulfill our charge of
creating positive change throughout the world, we must be prepared
to create change within our Agency.
The President and Secretary have both spoken
about our need to pursue our work with partnership not patronage.
And about a need to better coordinate our work within our own
government and with public, private and multilateral partners.
The role models of our field - from Norman Borlaug to Mohamed
Yunus to Wangaari Maathai - used the power of their leadership
to build partnerships that became global movements for change.
We need to rebuild the capacities USAID
once had to analyze, plan, and invest strategically for the long
term. And we need to develop new capabilities to pursue innovation,
science and technology - and to better focus our programs on
women and girls, who have the power to lift their families and
communities out of poverty.
We need to change our business model -
strengthening our in-house development expertise so we can use
contracting more appropriately, and focusing our efforts on building
the local capacity that is critical key to the sustainability
of our efforts.
The object of our aid is to create the
conditions where it is no longer needed, so that communities
thrive, governance is strong, and schools and other institutions
continue to operate long after we leave.
And most important, we must stay relentlessly focused on results.
We have this unique opportunity to create massive improvement
in the human condition - but to seize this opportunity, we have
to do a better job establishing baseline data, measuring progress,
being transparent about both our successes and our failures -
learning from both and improving our approach as we go forward.
During the last few weeks, I've worked
with many of you and admire your enthusiasm and courage. You
have shared your ideas, and your excitement for our future gives
me great confidence.
It's through your creativity and commitment that USAID will honor
our motto, "from the American people." We do this not
just by extending a helping hand, but sharing the hopefulness
of the American Dream to people around the world - the mother
who eats less so her children can eat more; the girl who risks
her life to get an education; the entrepreneur who beats the
odds to create a small business that employs his neighbors.
I remember seeing that dream at work in
a remote village in South India. When I was in medical school,
I volunteered in a poor tribal community. There in a one-room
schoolhouse where children who didn't speak our language, who
didn't enjoy our freedom from hunger and disease; but they could
look up on the wall of their classroom and find inspiration in
the portraits of their heroes - Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru
-- and our founder John F. Kennedy.
President Obama has called on us to "reach
for the world that ought to be."
We can seize this moment. If we have the
courage to embrace new ways of doing business, we can lead this
change.
I want to thank President Obama and Secretary
Clinton for the opportunity to join you in this mission. I can't
wait to get started. Thank you very much.

Van
Hollen Expects Just a Few More Retirements
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), chairman of the DCCC, told ABC
News that there might be a "couple more" House Democratic
retirements this year -- but not anywhere near the 28 retirements
that helped Republicans take control of the House of Representatives
in 1994.
Said Van Hollen: "Let's put this in
perspective: As of right now this year we're below the average
number of retirements in the House on a two-year cycle. If you
go back to 1994, you saw a high number -- 28; we're talking about
16, 17 retirements [on average in an election cycle]. We're right
now at 12 -- maybe there'll be a couple more."
Van Hollen also flatly declared there would
be no more party switchers.

A Lifetime of Commitment, A Year of
Challenge
Click
here to view video
Dear Friends:
Forty years ago this week, Dennis Kucinich
took the oath of office as a very young City Councilman in the
City of Cleveland. This milestone was recognized this week at
the Cleveland City Council's organizational meeting for 2010.
One member of the Council after another stood to praise Dennis
Kucinich's commitment to the people. Attached is an article
from Cleveland's Plain Dealer, entitled, "Making
It - Dennis Kucinich Style," written just before the
1969 election, which captured the excitement of a new, unconventional
candidate who "just might" win.
The Congressional Democratic Primary Election
is May 4th, less than four months away. You all remember the
extraordinary effort which was made last time to try to unseat
Congressman Kucinich. He was successful only because of the help
of people such as you, who understand the value of having a fearless
spokesperson for truth, economic equality, jobs for all, health
care for all and peace in the United States Congress. The Kucinich
Campaign will be seeking your help to broaden our fundraising
efforts, to involve more and more people, contributing to enable
Dennis Kucinich to continue to be "The Man of the People"
in the United States Congress.
We ask that you help us begin the New Year
with a generous contribution.
Thank you.
The Re-Elect Congressman Kucinich Committee
