The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will arrange a town hall meeting from 10 to 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, September 17.

The main goal is to discuss its partnership with NASA to use space data to support international development efforts around the world.

The event will be held in Washington in the amphitheater of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the United States Government agency primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid. Responding to President Barack Obama’s pledge in his 2013 State of the Union Address to “join with our allies to eradicate extreme poverty in the next two decades,” USAID has adopted as its mission statement “to partner to end extreme poverty and to promote resilient, democratic societies while advancing the security and prosperity of the United States.”

USAID operates in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.
