USAID’s Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and Environment’s Office of Development Credit (E3/DC), which administers the DCA guarantees, commissioned the evaluation of the 2006 and 2010 KCB DCA guarantees. The four main objectives of carrying out evaluations, are: i) Communicate to DCA stakeholders (OMB, Congress, USAID Missions, etc.) and external partners about the development contributions of DCA loan guarantees; ii) Contribute to the dialogue about how to engage financial sector institutions as partners in development efforts; iii) Learn from the intervention’s development efforts, and to try to examine impact, and iv) Strengthen USAID’s future application of DCA guarantees as a tool for achieving development results.
