Each year, USAID supports training for hundreds of thousands of host-country participants—478,000 in 2007 alone. The training includes study tours, conferences, and academic training. U.S.-based training exposes foreign participants to American expertise and ideas that can be taken back to their home countries for developmental purposes. USAID manages participant training programs under individual technical projects in all sectors.

This audit will determine whether specific participant training programs in USAID’s Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture, and Trade are achieving sustainability by strengthening the abilities of host-country partner organizations.
