Development Credit Authority (DCA) is a broad financing authority that allows the Agency to use credit guarantees to pursue any of the development purposes specified under the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) of 1961, as amended. DCA provides USAID with the flexibility to choose between appropriate financing tools - guarantees, grants or a combination to achieve developmental outcomes. DCA activities are designed and managed by USAID's overseas Mmissions, and are priced and financially monitored by the Office of Development Credit in Washington.
