United States Agency for International Development USAID Projects

One of its earliest proponents was Barbara Ward — a British economist and writer whose influence reached presidents and prime ministers. Thanks to her rapport with President John F. Kennedy, newly independent Ghana was one of the first countries to benefit, receiving funds to build the Volta River Project. Witness History
