The U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) is committed to increasing
the sustainable impact of our development assistance programs through
strategic alliances with the private sector. Such alliances enable the
Agency to leverage private sector markets, expertise, interests, and
assets in a manner that solves critical development problems and
promotes effective market led development. They also enable the private
sector to leverage USAID’s expertise, assets and working relationships
in a manner that advances business success and fosters the broader
economic growth and poverty reduction that is vital to sustaining such
success. Through strategic and ongoing collaboration, the private
sector and USAID are better able to increase the impact, reach,
efficiency, and effectiveness of our respective investments in
developing countries worldwide. This Global Development Alliance (GDA)
Annual Program Statement (APS) is designed to catalyze, facilitate and
support such collaboration.
GDAs
are a particular type of public-private partnership whereby USAID works
with the private sector to tackle important business challenges and
development problems - in a replicable, sustainable and scalable manner.
USAID works with private sector partners to advance mutual interests
while leveraging at least $1 in resources from private sector partners
for every $1 USAID contributes.
