USAID Branding

Our new marking requirements for US NGOs will become effective on
January 2, 2006.


12/19/05: New Acquisition & Assistance Policy Directive issued: AAPD 05-11: Marking Under Assistance Instruments

USAID's framework legislation, the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, section 641, requires that all programs under the Foreign Assistance Act be identified appropriately overseas as “American Aid.”

For more than a year, the Agency has been leading a branding campaign to ensure that the American people are credited for the foreign assistance they finance. Our new tagline clearly communicates our aid is “From the American People.”

The Agency has separate, and different, branding policies and marking requirements for our implementing partners: one for Acquisition Awards to contractors, and one for Assistance Awards to US NGOs receiving grants and cooperative agreements. Click on either page to get the latest information.
