The U.S. Trade and Development Agency and Infrastructure Development
The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) helps companies create U.S. jobs
through the export of U.S. goods and services for priority development projects
in emerging economies. USTDA links U.S. businesses to export opportunities by
funding project planning activities, pilot projects, and reverse trade missions
while creating sustainable infrastructure and economic growth in partner
countries.
USTDA provides grant funding to overseas project sponsors for the planning of
projects that support the development of modern infrastructure and an open
trading system. The hallmark of USTDA development assistance has always
involved building partnerships between U.S. companies and overseas project
sponsors to bring proven private sector solutions to developmental challenges.
Mark Dunn, USTDA’s Asia Regional Manager, will provide a briefing on the agency’s
program in Myanmar and the region. He will detail how U.S. companies, project
developers, and others can access USTDA’s resources to advance infrastructure
development and facilitate access to project financing.
