MOBILIZE RESOURCES:
The United States will modernize its development finance tools so that U.S. companies have incentives to capitalize on
opportunities in developing countries. With these changes, the United States will not be left behind as other states use investment and project finance to extend their inf luence. In addition, the U.S. Government must not be an obstacle to U.S. companies that want to conduct business in the developing world.
CAPITALIZE ON NEW TECHNOLOGIES:
We will incorporate innovative technologies in our diplomatic and development programs. For example, digital technologies enable millions to access financial services through their cell phones and can connect farmers to markets. Such technologies
can reduce corruption, increase transparency, and help ensure that money reaches its intended destination.
INCENTIVIZE REFORMS:
The United States will use diplomacy and assistance to encourage states to make choices that improve governance, rule of
law, and sustainable development. We already do this through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, which selects countries that are committed to reform and then monitors and evaluates their projects.
