SECTION D -- ANY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS OR ATTACHMENTS

D.1. PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

D.1.1 BACKGROUND

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) is an independent U.S. Government agency established under the Jobs Through Exports Act, Section 661 of the Foreign

Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. §2421). USTDA carries out its mission through a variety of tools, including reverse trade missions (RTM) and project planning activities, such as grants to overseas project sponsors who, in tum, select U.S. companies to perform the USTDA-funded activities. While USTDA activities can span a wide variety of sectors, the Agency focuses on energy, particularly clean energy, transportation, and telecommunications, USTDA funds projects that have a high probability of implementation, generating U.S.

exports and achieving positive developmental benefits. The Agency looks for projects that are mutually beneficial for the host country and the U.S. business community and evaluates the priority of the project to the project sponsor and the likelihood of receiving implementation financing.

USTDA also considers a project's potential adverse environmental implications by ensuring that provision is made for a preliminary environmental impact assessment in all USTDA-funded grant activities.

Essential to the success of USTDA is outreach to the U.S. business community, with a particular focus on helping small businesses take advantage of trade and investment opportunities in emerging markets.

D.1.2. MISSION STATEMENT

USTDA helps companies create U.S jobs through the export of U.S. goods and services for priority development projects in emerging economies. USTDA links U.S. businesses to export opportunities by funding project planning activities, pilot projects, and reverse trade missions while creating sustainable infrastructure and economic growth in partner countries.

Accounting Principles (GAAP) applicable to USTDA as an agency.

Consider the USTDA internal controls in order to determine the nature, timing, and extent of the auditing procedures employed in order to express an opinion on the financial statements.

Perform tests of USTDA's compliance with the provisions of applicable laws and regulations for contract and grants.

Review internal accounting and administrative controls to ensure that obligations and costs comply with applicable laws; all assets are safeguarded against waste, loss, unauthorized use, and misappropriations; and revenues and expenditures applicable to agency operations are recorded and accounted for properly.
