 USTDA is an independent U.S. Government foreign assistance agency that 
is funded by the U.S. Congress.
Our mission is to help 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.
The flag of the USTDA appears to be dark 
blue with the agency seal in white centered on it. A photo of it can be found at
