Development priority: the project must be a development priority in the country where it is located and have the endorsement of the U.S. Embassy in that country.
Financial viability: the project must be likely to receive implementation financing and have a procurement process that provides “equal access” to U.S. firms.
Mutual benefits: the project must represent mutual benefits for the stakeholders at home and abroad, including the opportunity for sales of U.S. goods and services that is many times greater than the initial USTDA assistance.
