Global Partnerships

Partnerships: An Innovative Approach to Development

Working with multinational corporations, regional and local companies, USAID builds public-private partnerships that can have some of the most significant and sustainable impact on major development challenges.  USAID combines private sector partnerships in cross-sector alliances with businesses, non-governmental organizations, foundations, associations and others to leverage valuable resources and innovative approaches that can more than double the impact of economic and social development initiatives.

“We are witnessing an unparalleled opportunity for innovative,
large-scale private sector partnerships to achieve  
 meaningful results in global development.”     

– USAID Administrator Raj Shah, June 27, 2011
