In the spirit of openness, USAID provides a number of resources for the public to obtain information. On our FOIA web page, located at www.usaid.gov, we have a number of valuable links to USAID information. The public can find information concerning our Automated Directives System (ADS), Business opportunities, and the Development Experience System – USAID’s Institutional Memory. On that same page are useful FOIA-related resources for the public’s review.
