USAID works to expand the private sector in Belarus by providing business training and informational support to current and future private sector actors, as well as supporting regulatory reforms aimed at improving the business environment and increasing opportunities for business, developing business support organizations, partnerships and professional networks, and business advocacy.

For many years, USAID has brought experienced American agricultural specialists to Belarus to promote modern agricultural practices and transfer technical knowledge and innovations.

In 2012, USAID launches a project to support the development and boost growth of private micro, small and medium enterprises in western Belarus. The project helps design local economic development strategies, increases interaction between Belarusians and Europeans through the development of ecotourism, and promotes the acceptance of European norms, standards and values.
