USAID Private-Sector Engagement Policy
USAID is undertaking a major cultural and operational transformation to expand engagement with the private sector to achieve outcomes of shared interest and shared value. The Private-Sector Engagement (PSE) Policy is an Agency-wide call to action, and a mandate to work hand-in-hand with the private sector to design and deliver development and humanitarian programs across all sectors, and to harness resources to open markets and other opportunities for U.S. businesses. This policy signals an intentional shift to pursue market-based approaches and investment as a means to accelerate countries’ progress on the Journey to Self-Reliance.
