The lack of access to credit is one of the primary constraints to economic growth throughout the developing world. Despite holding large sums of local capital, local banks and other formal financial institutions are often reluctant to lend this capital to small- and medium-sized enterprises, primary drivers of broad-based job creation and growth. 28% Multi-Sector 3 % Health 3 % Water 2 % 1 % Housing Infrastructure Loans Disbursed under DCA Guarantees by Year Portfolio Key Results (1999-2016) 542 Guarantees $4.8 Billion Committed 381 Financial Partners 76 Countries 2.6% Default Rate 2016 Key Results Since 2008 2016 Portfolio by Sector 36 % 64 % Female Borrowers Male Borrowers 38 % First-Time Borrowers 56 Guarantees $892 Million Committed 55 Financial Partners 27 Countries $ $30 = VALUE OF DCA LOANS DISBURSED IN FISCAL YEAR ($ MILLIONS) = NUMBER OF LOANS DISBURSED $60 $90 $120 $150 $180 18K 1K 11K 16K 2K 8K 20K 7K 32K 8K 13K 39K 6K 2014 2016 2012 2010 2008 2006 2004 2002 2000 11 2K 30K x 28% Energy & Environment Metrics Dashboard A Sample of DCA Guarantee Products Borrower Trustee Guarantee Loans/Funds Repayment Lender KEY G G G G B B B T T B B L L L L Partnership Opportunity: Global LATIN AMERICA & THE CARIBBEAN AFRICA ASIA/MIDDLE EAST & NORTH AFRICA EUROPE & EURASIA Overall 13 $190 active guarantees million guaranteed lending 2016 million guaranteed lending $32 A bond guarantee is a guarantee on a corporate or sub-sovereign bond issuance.

A loan or lease portfolio guarantee is a guarantee on a portfolio of loans or leases that a financial institution makes in an identified sector. A loan guarantee is a guarantee on one loan between an identified lender and an identified borrower.

More than $3 million in loans have been disbursed to coffee cooperatives in Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru as part of a regional initiative to address the worst outbreak of coffee rust in Central America since the pathogen first appeared in 1976. These loans have supported coffee tree renovation and rehabilitation efforts as coffee farmers respond to the crisis. Since 2003, nearly $34 million has been lent to over 20,000 MSMEs, of which $1.8M was disbursed in 2016, promoting legal livelihoods in former coca-producing regions in Peru. In 2016, nearly $8 million was lent to social enterprises providing needed technologies to rural poor in Kenya, Rwanda,Tanzania, and Uganda, from cookstoves to solar lanterns to water filters, helping to protect their health and the environment in partnership with the co-guarantor, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). In partnership with the Essential Capital Consortium, USAID’s Global Development Lab, USAID’s Asia Bureau, and the U.S. Department of State, $10 million was disbursed in Mexico and India in support of social enterprises in the education and health sectors. Over $13 million was disbursed by the Athelia Fund in 2016 for sustainable land-use activities in Peru, Guatemala, and Brazil that will generate emission reductions, including Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) projects that earn carbon offset credits while also creating sustainable jobs for local populations. In 2016, DCA partnered with Power Africa to issue a $60 million guarantee to Standard Chartered Bank to cover lending to ZESCO, an electric utility in Zambia. This loan is funding an increase in grid connections in the country. 2016 Highlights 2016 Highlights 2016 Highlights 2016 Highlights 2016 Highlights Since 1999, more than $250 million has been lent under DCA guarantees to farmers and firms across the African agricultural sector, including $2.5 million for agricultural equipment in Senegal, leased by Locafrique in 2016, supporting the growth of the country's leasing sector.

USAID’s Development Credit Authority (DCA)As we work to maximize investments in foreign aid throughout the developing world, USAID’s Development Credit Authority (DCA) uses loan guarantees to increase access to finance and promote growth in developing countries.

The lack of access to credit is one of the primary constraints to economic growth throughout the developing world. Despite holding large sums of local capital, local banks and other formal financial institutions are often reluctant to lend this capital to small- and medium-sized enterprises, primary drivers of broad-based job creation and growth.

We are pleased to share USAID’s 2016 Development Credit Authority (DCA) impact brief with you.

In 2016, USAID issued 56 guarantees, through 34 transactions, across 27 countries, mobilizing $892 million for USAID priorities. Guarantees this year will unlock financing for clean energy in Pakistan, electrical grid connections across Africa, preservation of forests in Mexico, and drip irrigation for farmers through a partnership with the people of Macedonia. Overall, in its 17-year history, DCA guarantees have made possible $4.8 billion in lending across 76 countries with 381 partner institutions, and 2016 was the largest year yet.

DCA continues to maximize its operating efficiency, delivering an already powerful cost-effective tool at an even greater value to taxpayers. For every $1 of its operating budget, DCA mobilizes $118 in private sector credit, up from $6 in 2000.

DCA was created on the simple notion that loan guarantees, by unlocking local capital, are a more sustainable way to accelerate development. Lending to targeted sectors and borrowers occurs that otherwise wouldn’t and, in most cases, continues long after guarantee coverage expires. Borrowers demonstrate their creditworthiness to lending institutions, and those institutions come to understand new customers and sectors better. We invite you to read more about DCA’s impact inside.

This year also marks the first year the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by world leaders at an historic United Nations Summit in 2015, are officially in effect. We’d like to take the opportunity to highlight some of DCA’s contributions to the SDGs by noting a few of DCA’s 2016 commitments (see right-hand side).

USAID’s Development Credit Authority (DCA) uses loan guarantees to increase access to finance and promote growth in developing countries. This infographic highlights 34 guarantee transactions making up DCA’s 2016 portfolio of new guarantees.

Through its 2016 portfolio consisting of 34 guarantee transactions and $892 million in new commitments, USAID’s Development Credit Authority (DCA) is contributing to nearly all of the 17 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, including these notable highlights.

Global: A DCA loan guarantee will expand lending to the sustainable fisheries sector in support of fishing communities and the sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources.

Malawi: A DCA loan guarantee will expand lending to women, supporting equal rights for women to economic opportunities, and to farmers, promoting increased agriculture productivity and environmental resilience.

Mexico: DCA loan guarantees will expand lending to businesses producing certified sustainable agriculture and engaging in livestock-ranching and forestry management activities, which will result in additional jobs, higher incomes, strengthened environmental resilience, and reduced land degradation and biodiversity losses.

Rwanda: A DCA loan guarantee will increase lending to health care providers and producers of water treatment and purification products or sanitation products in support of healthy lives and access to safe, affordable drinking water and adequate sanitation for all.
