How do USIA and the British Council get along?
ELPD maintains a cooperative, not competitive, relationship worldwide with our colleagues in the U.K. Indeed, in many countries, the ELPD/USIS and the British Council/ODA are joint sponsors of a wide variety of English language projects, e.g., national English teaching conferences in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, international conferences in Senegal and Turkey, ongoing institutional co-support in Indonesia and Malaysia (to name but a few). Simply put, “cooperation” is the key word between the U.S. and the U.K.
