About the GDA
The Global Development Alliance mobilizes the ideas, creativity, and resources of development partners for greater impact.
The Global Development Alliance (GDA) is USAID's commitment to change the way
we implement our assistance mandate. GDA mobilizes the ideas, efforts and resources
of governments, businesses and civil society by forging public-private alliances to
stimulate economic growth, develop businesses and workforces, address health and
environmental issues, and expand access to education and technology.
In the 1970s, 70 percent of resource flows from the United States to the developing
world were from official development assistance and 30 percent were private. Today,
85 percent of resource flows from the United States to the developing world are
private and 15 percent are public.
These changes in flows reflect the emergence of
the private for-profit sector and the non-governmental sector as significant
participants in the development process. The Global Development Alliance approach responds to
this changed environment, and it extends USAID's reach and effectiveness in meeting
development objectives by combining its strengths with the resources and capabilities
of other prominent actors.
Alliances incorporate the breadth of USAID and partner resources to arrive at solutions
only available through pooled efforts. The resources united are as diverse as the
alliances themselves, including technology and intellectual property rights, market
creation, best practices, policy influence, in-country networks, and expertise in
development programs ranging from international trade to biodiversity protection.
Together, the combination of complementary assets has encouraged innovative
approaches, more effective problem solving and deeper impact. Importantly,
public-private sector conversations almost always lead to a better
understanding of the challenge.
