=USAID Article=

It's a challenge to find published sources of information about aspects of USAID's operations that are so well known (to anyone who knows USAID) that they hardly seem to have been written down before. But, yes, it's appropriate to find and cite them. So, I'll work on doing that, especially since the staffing and organizational material deleted recently is vital for public understanding of USAID.

No rest for the weary!

On the other hand, "U.S." and "assistance" are more formal than "American" and "aid," plus "U.S." is a better abbreviation of "U.S. Government" than "American" is. Also, "assistance" emphasizes (for me) the important fact that developing-country organizations do most of the work, while "aid" incorrectly suggests (to me) passivity on the receiver's part. So, I suggest sticking with "U.S. assistance."
