This case study focuses on USAID’s Development Credit Authority Agreement with Opportunity International Savings & Loans (OISL) in Ghana, and the accompanying technical assistance project implemented by The Mitchell Group. The DCA guarantee and technical assistance project target the private education sector. The Ghana project was chosen as a focus case because it is one of very few USAID DCA Agreements benefiting a high number of women-owned SME borrowers without explicitly seeking to benefit women SME entrepreneurs.
