how is someone impoverished in going to -- ghana going to benefit from research in job party? we will be supporting countries in a more integrated fashion. the national health accounts, they have been hugely important. the rest of the world and the country's, where these things are going, there is the capacity for the stewardship of new systems. the private sector is actually two-thirds of the sector, and we have to engage constructively with the private sector. is very important going forward. and finally, our policy on health -- we have noted that global health, not only in usaid, but there are many other groups in usaid working towards this development, and across our agency, or portfolio, it has been crucial, but most important because the pay of its huge. education and empowerment are huge, both for the economic development, and also for health. >> thank you. i think we have time for another round. i am going to ask one question, and then we will turn to somebody here. we have had the chance recently to visit ethiopia and south africa and zambia. there are a couple of thi

we went to liberia to ghana and spoke to leaders in both of those areas on this issue. we have to be careful what the regions do not become beachheads for the cartels. we take their drugs and their other products and try to use different places around the world for staging. we have to be partners with them and liberia i was fortunate to see the beginning of the coast guard that we are helping to build. that's the essential because they themselves get any meaningful way to police themselves they can do a better job of fighting organized crime, as a way we have to be nimble and we have to continue to develop partnership for routt. >> thank you. >> thank you. senator klobuchar. >> thank you all of you for being here on this important topic. i know that senator kunes raised the issue of the intellectual property which is an issue that i have been very focused on and not just with the dvd that senator kunes mentioned but also with theft over the internet and i don't think people off and realize the relationship between these kinds of hot and organized crime, so i wonder, mr.

with ghana recently 13 billion. china stepped up its efforts on soft power in africa. what are the implications for the u.s.? a heightened engagement and africa by china since the mid-1990s is very important implications for the united states certainly if you look at relationships with countries like zimbabwe and sudan, it provides an option for china that did not previously exist but even countries that have good relations with the united states find themselves in a position they can be a lot more selective in terms of the advice that they accept from the united states because they might be able to obtain support from china. on the commercial side, a company like boeing continues to do well in africa and has no chinese competition. on the other hand the electronic giants like hewlett-packard, motorola and erickson are increasingly losing business to chinese companies such as zte. veazey financing offered by chinese state banks, lowered bids on projects by chinese state-controlled construction companies and the fact that companies now have a ubiquitous presence on the

how expanding coverage in ghana has safer pregnancies and lower infant mortality and it will be important because it will support the priorities that we have again vertically. but by supporting countries in a more integrated fashion. so we will do -- a lot of assistance will be important. the national health accounts the demographical service has been hugely important, flagship importance to allow us to understand not only ourselves but the rest of the countries where things are and where things are going. with that there is evidence data for stewardship of systems. many governments are taking the private sector. two-thirds of the sector and how to engage constructively with the private sector is important going forward. and then finally on poverty and health, well, yes, we have noted that -- global health is one of the largest segments in usaid but usaid is involved very much to the development as a whole. .. >> there's a couple of themes that came through that, quite powerfully, from that trip, from those visits that one in particular that i wanted to ask you to comment on, and that is
