TITLE IV—FOREIGN ASSISTANCE 
SEC. 401. GOALS OF UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) in December 2007, the United States Gov-
ernment’s Commission on Helping to Enhance the 
Lives of Poor People Around the Globe, also known 
as the ‘‘HELP Commission,’’ reported that sus-
tained economic growth is vital and necessary for a 
country to feed, educate, house and provide for the 
health of its citizens over the long term and that 
‘‘foreign assistance alone is not sufficient to help de-
veloping countries achieve long-term, sustainable 
economic growth’’; 
(2) private sector-led trade and investment are 
fundamental components of economic development 
and growth; and 
(3) the United States Agency for International 
Development’s Global Development Alliance program 
characterizes the rising importance of private re-
sources and private actors as development tools in

an expanding and more integrated globalized econ-
omy, aligning public resources with private capital 
through the establishment of public-private partner-
ships for the economic advancement of impoverished 
countries. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy 
of the United States to— 
(1) emphasize the development of innovative 
partnerships between governments and organizations 
in the private sector (including corporations, founda-
tions, universities, faith-based organizations, and 
other nongovernmental organizations) in the ap-
proach to and distribution of foreign assistance; and 
(2) focus United States assistance programs on 
achieving sustainable economic growth and grad-
uating United States aid recipients into a trade- 
based relationship with the United States.

GRAMS. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) access to financial markets is essential to 
economic growth; 
(2) microfinance and microenterprise programs 
have been successful in creating and expanding eco-
nomic opportunities by providing access to financial 
markets and financial services, such credit, small 
loans and savings services, to poor and vulnerable 
populations, particularly women and the rural poor, 
in developing countries; 
(3) microfinance helps improve economic wel-
fare in poor households, and has been shown to raise 
borrower income, stimulate the growth of the bor-
rower’s business, and generate employment; and 
(4) the United States should support and en-
courage, wherever possible and appropriate, micro-
finance and microenterprise development and pro-
grams in order to help generate stable economic 
growth in developing countries.

(2) the Development Credit Authority, through 
the issuance of partial loan guarantees, has proven 
to be a vital and effective tool in bolstering microen-
terprise development in impoverished countries by 
reducing the risk of private investors and financial 
institutions that invest in underserved sectors or 
creditworthy borrowers that otherwise would not 
qualify for such loans. 
(b) LIMITATION ON AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIA-
TIONS.—Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated
