Overview

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a results-driven management framework and “blueprint” of the Agency’s business model and its components – strategy, people, information, processes and technology. Through using the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) reference models, EA provides a standard language and repeatable approach for different business units within and outside of USAID to talk with each other, examine how these business units relate to each other, and forge consensus on areas of needed investment.
