International Development and Programs (Development Work) - International Development and Programs (Development Work)

The importance of ensuring that the American people are appropriately recognized for their generosity in funding U.S. foreign assistance has been a longstanding U.S. Government objective. For example, section 641 of USAID’s framework legislation, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, codified as amended in 22 U.S.C. 2401, specifies that programs under the act be identified appropriately overseas as “American aid.”

More recently, the rising importance of development as part of the United States’ post–September 11 national security strategy increased the need for U.S. foreign assistance activities to be more fully identified in host countries as being provided by the United States. This need is addressed in ADS 320, which contains USAID’s branding and marking requirements.

General Recommendations

• Ensure compliance with contractual branding and (2) devise a branding and marking plan that is in accordance with contractual branding requirements.
