Overview

Almost all USAID development assistance includes some type of international exchanges and training resulting in millions of host country nationals participating in exchanges and training programs each year. This is a major part of USAID’s story. How does this story get told?

One major contributor to the story of USAID’s International Exchanges and Training is TEAMS, USAID's official international exchange and training data management system. TEAMS is the entry point for data on exchanges and training programs, and participants. TEAMS supports USAID visa compliance for U.S. exchanges and training programs and incorporates processes to support participants who will come to the United States on a USAID J-1 visa.
