This week, as part of its 50th Anniversary, USAID is highlighting the
role that public-private partnerships play in fostering development
around the world. Since the creation of the Global Development
Alliance program ten years ago, USAID has been a recognized leader
in public-private partnerships. USAID has created more than 1,000
partnerships with over 3,000 partners, leveraging billions of dollars
and impacting the lives of millions of people around the world.
Public-private alliances catalyze foreign investment and motivate
new players to enter the local market. In Armenia, the USAID Mission
has leveraged resources through partnerships to foster private sector
growth, promote environmental preservation, increase energy efficiency,
and improve women's health and well-being.
In the area of technology and innovation, USAID Armenia established the
Microsoft Innovation Center (MIC) in partnership with Microsoft RA. The
MIC assists small- and medium-sized enterprises and professionals to
create innovative new products and services and bring those products
and services to market.
In the area of health and social welfare, USAID Armenia has partnered
with World Vision to improve the quality of rural health services; with
the Armenian-American Wellness Center to improve women's health; and
with the Tufenkian Charitable Foundation and the Armenia International
Women's Association to treat and prevent domestic violence. A recently
concluded alliance with the Armenian EyeCare Project also targeted
diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases across Armenia.
As USAID Armenia marks the 10th anniversary of the Global Development
Alliance program, the Mission recognizes the achievements of past
and current partnerships and continues to seek out private sector
partners that bring unique expertise and resources to further Armenia's
economic, democratic, and social progress.
