International Affairs
U.S. diplomatic missions (embassies) generally located in the capital city of a foreign country that are responsible for representing the home country abroad and handling foreign diplomatic affairs as well as looking after the welfare of citizens who are living in that country; and sub offices (consulates) located in other major cities that are responsible for minor diplomatic issues, safeguarding resident and traveling citizens and promoting and protecting trade and the interests of businesses operating on foreign soil. Everyday consular functions include processing and granting passports and visas, inspection of ships bound for the consulate's home nation and assistance in the resolution of legal issues between its citizens and local authorities.
International Development Programs
Programs that provide technical assistance, training and personal and material resources to support the capacity-building efforts of developing nations with a focus on areas (such as agricultural and rural development, health, education, social welfare, small business development and industrial growth) which facilitate the host country's ability to provide for the basic needs of its people.
Programs that provide emergency services and humanitarian aid for countries that are affected by conflict, natural disaster or poverty and whose populations have been deprived of food, shelter and other resources essential for survival.
