Budget support to a government agency[edit]
This funding agreement would take the form of a letter from USAID's Mission Director, countersigned by the recipient agency, explaining (in annexes to the letter) the agency's objectives, the amount of USAID's financial commitment, the specific expenditures to be financed by USAID's grant, and other operational aspects of the agreement.
USAID's technical office would assign a staff member (U.S. or local) to oversee progress in the agency's implementation. USAID's financial management office transfers funds to the agency, in tranches as needed. Audit under this kind of government-to-government (G2G) financial assistance is usually performed by the host government's own audit agency
