Devex Impact: Connecting Professionals at the Intersection of Business and Development
USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah introduced a new partnership, Devex Impact, before nearly 1,000 business, NGO and government leaders at BSR’s 20th Anniversary Conference, one of the world’s largest and most influential events devoted to sustainable business.
A global initiative of USAID and Devex, Devex Impact is an online community that fills a gap in connecting business professionals with development practitioners around the world. The site brings together USAID’s expertise in building public-private partnerships with Devex, the world’s largest development network connecting over 500,000 professionals and thousands of organizations.
Together, USAID and Devex are making the latest partnership information, news, and tools available to companies, donors, recipient governments, implementers, NGOs, and professionals working at the intersection of business and global development. By connecting public and private sector partners in real time, Devex Impact promises to be the premier site for dialogue and collaboration on global partnerships for development.
