The United States and India have been working together on development challenges for many years. India's emergence as a regional and global power and rapidly growing trade and investment partner creates an opportunity to evolve the traditional donor recipient model of development into a true partnership where the United States and India join forces to tackle development challenges in India and globally.

India’s leadership innovating products, processes, and service delivery models to benefit vulnerable populations has helped lift millions out of poverty and holds great potential for broader replication to address global development challenges. India is a development innovation laboratory where U.S. and Indian partners can develop, test, and scale new tools and technologies to advance development outcomes. U.S. assistance is a powerful catalyst for the development of innovative models that can be scaled with funds from Indian public and private partners to reduce poverty.

USAID/India’s support for development innovations focuses on three key sectors: health, food security, and clean energy. We are developing new mechanisms that will allow us the flexibility to identify, support, and scale-up innovations that fall outside these sectors. While we will continue our long partnership with the Indian Government, we will also work with a wide range of new partners to leverage our joint resources and experience.
