The Development
Experience Clearinghouse (DEC) is the largest online resource
for USAID funded, international development documentation.
What Can the DEC Do For You?
You are able to download USAID documents from our DEXS database
that contains records for over 154900 USAID
technical and program documents with over 65800 available
for electronic download. The DEC offers four major online services:
The purpose of the DEC is to strengthen USAID's development projects,
activities, and programs by making these development experience
documents available to USAID offices and mission staff, PVO's,
NGO's, universities and research institutions, developing countries,
and the public worldwide.
Find out how (and where!) to submit USAID-funded development experience
documentation. In addition to being included in the Development
Experience System (DEXS) and posted on the USAID Web sites, your
documents will be posted on DEC Express and sent to hundreds
of subscribers.
This newly revised interface for the DEXS permits a quick search
using words or phrases and searches of fields in the database.
Results can be sorted by relevancy or by date. In addition, results
can be displayed either in title list format or in a summary list
that provides crucial information about each document together
with links to allow for ordering or download. * USAID .pdf (Portable
Document Format) documents are best viewed using Adobe® Reader® 7.0.
