U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA)

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency helps companies create U.S. jobs through the export of U.S. goods and services to critical infrastructure projects in emerging economies. USTDA funds project preparation and partnership-building activities that define technical and design options for infrastructure projects, counter unfair foreign competition, and generate results that make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous. USTDA generates an average of $231 in U.S. exports for every dollar it programs. Since its inception, the Agency has supported more than $120 billion in U.S. exports to the infrastructure projects that it has supported in emerging economies, helping companies create good-paying jobs across the United States.
