To improve system security, the Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC) now requires an account approval process for non-USAID
staff who intend to submit materials. You do not need an account to use the DEC—just one to create submissions. 

Here are instructions for Implementing Partner (IP) staff: 

1. To register for a DEC account, click on the words ‘Sign In’ at the top of the page.  
2. Create an account using Login.gov—this creates your account in the DEC system. 
1. The email address you use to register must be associated with an individual user, and should be an organizational account.  
3. Fill out the form to request a submitter account.  
1. The form asks for details about the activity you are submitting deliverables for and will help the DEC team find the appropriate contact at USAID to approve your account [usually the Agreement Officer’s Representative/Contracting Officer’s Representative (AOR)/(COR)].  
2. The DEC team will forward your request to the USAID approver.  
4. Once the account is approved, the DEC team will change your role on the DEC to ‘Submitter’, and you will be free to add materials.

Note: USAID staff can still use Single Sign On to log in to the DEC and submit materials.
