Associates:
Associate awards are USAID Mission buy-ins to the FIELD-Support LWA. The diverse experience of the FIELD-Support LWA consortium members allows USAID program staff to develop rapid and comprehensive responses to current economic development and poverty reduction issues.

Pilots:
Pilot activities use FIELD-Support core funding to design, test, and refine innovative new products, tools, and technical approaches to poverty reduction through microfinance and microenterprise development. 

Strategic Learning Objectives:
The objective of FIELD-Supports Strategic Learning Initiatives (SLI) is to address key knowledge and experiential constraints to improving the field of enterprise development. SLIs are a flexible tool intended to allow FIELD-Support to pursue diverse opportunities for learning.
