>> Regional Overview >> GDA Overview Program Data Sheet
020-001CENTRAL PROGRAM: Global Development Alliance Secretariat (GDA)
PROGRAM TITLE: Institutionalizing Alliance Building
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE AND NUMBER: Program Development and Learning: Global Development Alliance, 020-001
STATUS: Continuing
PLANNED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $2,000,000 DA
PROPOSED FY 2003 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $1,000,000 DA
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 2001 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2003Summary: The Global Development Alliance is USAID's commitment to change the way the Agency implements its foreign assistance mandate. USAID uses its resources and expertise to work with strategic partners in investment decisions, and stimulates new investments by bringing new actors and ideas to the overseas development arena. While the Agency will continue to deploy resources where private funding is not available and where the governmental role is clear and pre-eminent to stimulate institutional and policy change, GDA activities provide synergy and economies of scale to organizations and individuals working on common development issues. Through this Program Development and Learning (PD&L) objective, the GDA Secretariat will increase the knowledge and skill in alliance building of USAID staff and partners and extend the reach of USAID's development efforts in the Agency's core areas by mainstreaming the use of public-private alliances to benefit the people of the developing world.
Inputs, Outputs and Activities: FY 2002 Program: In FY 2002, USAID will use funding to provide additional technical expertise to field missions in developing public-private alliances. The GDA Secretariat is developing reference missions resources for use in formal training sessions and workshops, facilitating alliance building dialogs within USAID as well as with our partners, and participating in meetings sponsored by other U.S. Government agencies and members of the international community to raise awareness of USAID's increased emphasis on alliances as a means to maximize impact.
Planned FY 2003 Program: FY 2003 resources will be targeted to any remaining gaps in Agency policies or practices, or partner and community understanding, with the expectation that alliance building will be fuly integrated into USAID business processes. The continued need for the GDA secretariat will be reviewed at the end of FY 2003.
Performance and Results: As a newly established Agency pillar, start-up activities have included outreach at several large public and private-sector meetings; securing outside expertise which is being made available to field missions and central and regional bureaus for identifying, evaluating, and pursuing appropriate public-private alliances; creating a "Tools for Alliance Builders" package; and developing guidance and other informational material to facilitate the adoption of this business model across the Agency. In addition, work is nearly completed on establishing solid performance measures to assess the success of alliances built.
Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: USAID has acquired the services of Management Systems International to provide technical assistance to the Agency in identifying alliance opportunities, bringing together potential partners, and developing successful alliances.
