The majority of U.S. economic assistance over the years has been delivered by the U.S.Agency for International Development (USAID) and its predecessor organizations. USAID's interventions have aimed at empowering the Pakistani population, strengthening the country's institutions and key services, and equipping the country with tools and processes to become self-reliant.

This publication highlights some of the more significant contributions of the American people to Pakistan's socio-economic development. It covers U.S. support in education, professional training, economic growth, agriculture, energy, infrastructure construction and rehabilitation, health care, and humanitarian assistance most recently disaster relief and recovery efforts following the 2005 earthquake and 2010 floods.
