In recent years, U.S. officials have shown increased interest in transferring certain social welfare functions of the U.S. government to nongovernmental organizations, both commercial and not for profit. Such organizations have expressed interest in and, according to U.S. officials, have demonstrated the ability to use federal funds to serve a wider pool of beneficiaries and help meet the U.S. governments objectives in a variety of areas. One of these areas is the delivery of U.S. foreign assistance to developing countries and countries transitioning from communism to market-oriented democracy. Many nongovernmental organizations active in international development have years of experience working overseas and have received millions of dollars in funds from private sources as well as the U.S. government for this work.

The first comprehensive account of U.S. development aid policies and implementation operations in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, this work is a unique contribution to world history and to the extensive literature on Third World development. Butterfield begins with the remarkable story of why, in 1949, President Truman surprised Americans with his unprecedented development aid policy. He then describes the major alterations in U.S. development aid strategy and operations from 1950 to 2000. Drawing upon his long experience both in Washington and in country aid missions, Butterfield puts a human face on the story by weaving real world vignettes into his narrative. The survey addresses the role of Congress, important program foundations established in the 1950s, creative initiatives of the 1960s, frustrated promises in Vietnam. It explores the Third World's unexpected population explosion; America's evolving technical assistance work in the core sectors such as agriculture, education, health, and administration; and initiatives to reach the rural poor and promote the development role of women. It also comments upon linkages between policy dialogue and financial aid to promote market-oriented policy reforms, Africa's lagging development, and the decline of U.S. development aid in the 1990s.
