USAID Economic Growth Policy

Description

This policy:

• Advances the approach of investing in enterprise-driven development to improve the effectiveness of USAID’s economic-growth programming and further the Journey to Self-Reliance in our partner;
• Asserts the importance of economic analysis and systems-based approaches in the design, management, and evaluation of economic growth programs;
• Elevates the requirement for USAID’s interventions to produce measurable impact with a clear exit strategy so that USAID does not continue to repeat the same programs in the same sectors; and
• Emphasizes that USAID’s work produces shared benefits for developing economies and the U.S. economy.
