International development agency

(IDA).

International development agencies, or aid agencies, are usually departments of a single national government.

They generally aim to advance foreign policy goals, while contributing to economic and social development in the countries they support.

Examples include the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
