velopment and stability of a free, open, and equi-
table international economic system;
‘‘(2) it is, therefore, in the best interests of the
United States to assist the development of the pri-
vate sector in developing countries and to engage the
United States private sector in that process;
‘‘(3) the support of private enterprise can be
served by programs providing credit, training, and
technical assistance for the benefit of micro- and
small enterprises; and
‘‘(4) programs that provide credit, training, and
technical assistance to private institutions can serve
as a valuable complement to grant assistance pro-
vided for the purpose of benefiting micro- and small
private enterprise.

‘‘(C) other indigenous governmental and non-

‘‘(3) Approximately one-half of the credit assistance
authorized under paragraph (1) shall be used for poverty
lending programs, including the poverty lending portion
of mixed programs. Such programs—
‘‘(A) shall meet the needs of the very poor
members of society, particularly poor women; and
‘‘(B) should provide loans of $300 or less in

society.
‘‘(4) The Administrator should continue support for
mechanisms that—
‘‘(A) provide technical support for field mis-
sions;

graph (2); and

of assistance authorized under paragraph (1) be-
tween such field missions and intermediary organiza-
tions.
‘‘(b) MONITORING SYSTEM.—In order to maximize
the sustainable development impact of the assistance au-
thorized under subsection (a)(1), the Administrator should
establish a monitoring system that—
‘‘(1) establishes performance goals for such as-
sistance and expresses such goals in an objective and
quantifiable form, to the extent feasible;
‘‘(2) establishes performance indicators to be
used in measuring or assessing the achievement of
the goals and objectives of such assistance; and
‘‘(3) provides a basis for recommendations for
adjustments to such assistance to enhance the sus-
tainable development impact of such assistance, par-
ticularly the impact of such assistance on the very
poor, particularly poor women.’’.
