USTDA Mission U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) provides grant funding to overseas project sponsors for project planning activities that support the development of modern infrastructure and an open trading system. The hallmark of USTDA development assistance is building partnerships between U.S. companies and overseas project sponsors to bring proven private sector solutions to developmental challenges.

USTDA’s Tools International Business Partnership Program U.S. Study Tours / Reverse Trade Missions Conferences Workshops Project Development Program Feasibility Studies Pilot Projects Technical Assistance USTDA funds project planning activities, pilot projects, and reverse trade missions to support priority development projects and promote the use of U.S. goods and services.

USTDA Funding Criteria USTDA evaluates project proposals based on the following criteria: 1. Developmental priority in the host country 2. Likelihood of success receiving implementation financing 3. Mutual benefits for the United States and partner country, including commercial opportunities for U.S. firms

Project Development Program Feasibility Studies: USTDA-funded feasibility studies provide the required comprehensive analysis for major infrastructure investments to achieve financing and implementation. Technical Assistance: USTDA funds technical assistance to support legal and regulatory reform and capacity building related to commercial activities and infrastructure development.

International Business Partnership Program Reverse Trade Missions: USTDA brings foreign project sponsors to the United States pending upcoming procurements to observe the design, manufacture, and operation of U.S. products and services. Kenyan public and private sector decision makers traveled to the U.S. in December 2010 for a Cyber Security RTM.

USTDA Project Investments in Sub-Saharan Africa Priority sectors: Energy, Transport, IT & Telecom In 2013, energy projects accounted for 67% of USTDA’s sub-Saharan Africa portfolio investments.

USTDA Supporting POWER AFRICA Goal: Increase access to power in SSA. USTDA-funded feasibility studies and technical assistance help to mobilize financing and support capacity to implement energy projects. USTDA reverse trade missions and study tours help to build partnerships and introduce U.S. technology and service providers, best practices, and financing resources that can support the deployment of new power infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa.
