Global Development Alliance. Public-Private Alliances for Transformational Development

摘要

Since 2001, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has multiplied the impact of foreign aid by welcoming businesses, foundations, nonprofit organizations, and others as partners in the vital project of improving the lives of the worlds poor. The ongoing transformation under the banner of the Global Development Alliance (GDA), one of USAIDs principal business models already has shown impressive results. In recent years the composition of flows of financial resources into the developing countries has changed in a fundamental way. In 1970, the U.S. government was the largest source of funds for developing countries. Two decades later, most international resource flows to developing countries still came from governments. Today, about 80 percent of U.S. funds moving into the developing world come from the private sector: businesses, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), universities, foundations, churches, private charities, and migrant and diaspora communities.
