Document Introduction

This report is based on publicly available data from the U.S. government, focusing on the transnational funding project provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to the World Economic Forum. It systematically presents and organizes information centered on the "Trade Facilitation Alliance" special funding. As a significant component of U.S. foreign assistance overseas projects (CFDA number 98.001), this project aims to promote long-term, equitable economic growth through financial support, aligning with the core objectives of U.S. foreign policy.

The project commenced on September 21, 2015, and is scheduled to run until September 30, 2026. It is currently ongoing (with 1 year and 7 months remaining in the execution period). The core data of the report originates from the U.S. government's spending transparency platform (USAspending.gov), including the project funding number (FAIN AIDEGEEIO1500004) and complete primary information on fund flows and account allocations. This provides precise data support for analyzing the mechanisms of U.S. foreign assistance and transnational cooperation models.

The main structure of the report revolves around the core elements of funding, detailing key financial indicators such as the project's expenditure amount, obligated amount, non-federal funds, and total funding amount. The total funding amount reaches $52,198,366, with $35,132,000 already expended. Furthermore, a timeline chart visually presents the funding activity progress from Fiscal Year 2015 to Fiscal Year 2026, clearly illustrating the temporal distribution characteristics of fund disbursements.

Regarding funding sources, the report clarifies the allocation from two major federal accounts: the Development Assistance account bears $23,198,366 (accounting for 59%), and the Economic Support Fund account provides $16,000,000 (accounting for 40%). Both accounts fall under the United States Agency for International Development, reflecting the centralized management and targeted allocation characteristics of U.S. foreign assistance funds.

The Funding History section meticulously records 9 instances of fund adjustments and continuation transactions, covering key time points, adjustment amounts, and action types from 2015 to 2024. Among these, funds were added multiple times in the form of "CONTINUATION," reflecting the continuity of project execution and the U.S.'s long-term commitment to this cooperation. The Additional Information section supplements core administrative details such as the project's unique identifier key, implementation location, and beneficiary details, providing a foundation for comprehensively assessing the project's implementation context.

Through structured data presentation and systematic information organization, this report provides international relations scholars, policy analysts, and foreign aid researchers with a typical case study material on cooperation between the U.S. government and international organizations. It holds significant reference value for understanding the fund operation mechanisms, policy orientation, and transnational collaboration models of U.S. foreign assistance.
