Ambassador Harriet C.

Ambassador Babbitt previously served as deputy administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID). As the second most senior official overseeing the US foreign assistance program, she managed a large array of programs in the fields of democratization, women's empowerment, economic growth, education, health, the environment, and agriculture.

While in that role, she led the US negotiating effort to complete the world's first anti-corruption convention and helped strengthen the Inter-American Human Rights Commission. Ambassador Babbitt also served as a senior public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and spent nearly 20 years as a practicing attorney.
