This case study concentrates on USAID's Development Credit Authority Agreement with the Bank of Abyssinia (BOA) in Ethiopia, which specifically targets women-owned SMEs, and the VEGA AGOA+ program, focused on financial sector and trade capacity development. The DCA program in Ethiopia was chosen because it is one of very few recent examples that explicitly seeks to benefit women-owned SMEs.
