Microenterprise Development
The primary goals of this program include reducing poverty and promoting broadbased
economic growth by helping poor people increase their income and assets,
boost their productivity, and reduce their vulnerability and risks. USAID pursues these
goals through funding to diverse local and international organizations engaged in
delivery of microfinance, support for enterprise development and linkages, and promotion
of policies and laws that improve the enabling environment for businesses owned
by poor households.
Grants are provided to organizations periodically throughout the year, including grants
through USAID missions around the world.
