WOMEN MEN AND DEVELOPMENT MARCH 2006
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is committed to providing development assistance that improves the lives of women, men, and children around the world. USAID has a special interest in the advancement of women worldwide. Women’s health, education, economic opportunity and human rights are at the core of successful, stable societies and economic growth.
One of the fundamental principles of the Department of State/USAID strategic plan is that “all citizens, men and women, are vital to meeting the critical challenges of today and reaching the goals of equality, peace and security.” USAID’s commitment to the full inclusion of women dates back to 1973, when the United States Congress passed the “Percy Amendment” to the Foreign Assistance Act, requiring that particular attention be given to integrating women into national economies to improve the status of women and to assist the overall development effort.
Today, USAID embraces this goal, and seeks to understand the different needs of men and women, to improve the efficiency and overall impact of its programs, and to ensure that both women and men have equitable access to development activities and their benefits. This document profiles USAID efforts to address barriers to full access to opportunity for women and men throughout the developing world. The success stories are a testament to the progress women and men have made. The selected examples illustrate the many efforts made by the USAID field missions, the Office of Women in Development, and other operating units in USAID to fully integrate women into development programs and policies throughout USAID. It is important to note that women’s leadership is not treated as a separate category in this report, but is reflected in all the examples.
Women are becoming political leaders, grassroots leaders, leaders in their professions, leaders in their communities, and heads of households, especially in regions ravaged by HIV/AIDS and conflict, and are growing into leaders in many other ways. As a result, all USAID efforts to support women’s skills, opportunities and rights contribute to “women’s leadership.” WOMEN, MEN AND DEVELOPMENT 1

Box 8106 Statesboro, GA 30460-8106 (912) 681-5929 Media Contact: Amy Gemmel (229) 224-4607 agemmel7@gmail.com STATESBORO, Ga., June 11, 2009 From Start to End: The Van Tassell Effect Lane Van Tassell started the Georgia Southern Model UN (United Nations) team in 1972 with 10 college kids and vision of excellence. Today Van Tassell is still a constant presence as a mentor to the team. “Even though I am no longer advising the team I still enjoy stopping by to test their debating skills,” said Van Tassell. “I want the kids to know that I will always be their number one supporter.” After launching a successful college team at Georgia Southern it was time for Van Tassell to reach out into the community and get not only the high schools, but also the middle schools involved in the organization. In 1982, acting as a true pioneer, Van Tassell became the advisor of the third middle school Model UN program in the nation. The middle school program has continued to grow annually. In fact, this past year the Georgia Southern Model UN team hosted over 1,000 middle school students in debate on the Georgia Southern campus and at the Coastal Georgia Conference Center in Savannah, Ga. True to his nature, Van Tassell has not been far removed from all of the growth of the programs. Whether it’s being Chairman of a conference, speaking on behalf of the organization, or setting up tables, Van Tassell is ready to help. “I am committed to seeing this program grow on all levels,” said Van Tassell. “The least I can do is to lend my time in seeing it through.” Nearly 40 years after its debut, the Georgia Southern Model UN team has become a United Nations internationally recognized team for its longstanding commitment to the organization and numerous awards. -###-
