Section 641 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, requires that all foreign assistance programs be identified appropriately overseas as American aid. USAID’s policy is that programs, projects, activities, public communications, or commodities implemented or delivered under grants, cooperative agreements, or other assistance awards are generally “co-branded and co-marked.” 22 U.S.C. 2401.
General Recommendations
- Enforce partner compliance with USAID’s branding requirements, including obtaining documentation from partners that they have effectively communicated to service providers and beneficiaries that the American people are funding program activities
