United States Agency for International Development
United States Agency for International Development (forkortet USAID) er en amerikansk føderal etat, som har ansvaret for landets civile udviklingsbistand.
Organisationen blev etableret under præsident John F. Kennedy i 1961 i forbindelse med Marshall-planen og genopbygningen af Europa efter 2. verdenskrig.
Der er aktiviteter i Subsaharisk Afrika, Asien, Mellemøsten, Latinamerika, Caribien og Eurasien. Direktøren udpeges af præsidenten med Senatet godkendelse, og er ikke som sådan underlagt Udenrigsminsteriet, men ministeren lægger den overordnede kurs for hvorledes bistandsmidlerne skal anvendes.

The visual identity of the United States Agency for International Development, containing the logo at left and the brandmark at right. It has been in use since 2004, when it replaced the earlier version of the agency seal.
The previous version was modified in a few ways to make it easier to read and reproduce. The typeface was changed from serif to sans-serif, and the agency name was repositioned. The handshake was redrawn to be gender-neutral and anatomically correct. The brandname and tagline were also added to complete the identity. The tagline FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE is translated in localized versions, while the text in the logo and the brandname is not.
