By working together, USAID and the business community leverage our respective expertise, capabilities and resources to achieve greater impact and foster the economic growth and poverty reduction needed to sustain business and industry.
Below are some helpful tips to consider when drafting an email to connect with an identified USAID contact.
In your inquiry, please address one or more of the following questions:
- What particular areas of USAID’s work are of interest to you?
- How do you hope to engage with our network of development professionals and partners?
- Which countries are you interested in working in beyond the one you’ve indicated?
- Has your company previously had any relationship with USAID? If so, who was your previous point of contact?
- What additional information are you seeking? What would be most helpful for us to provide in our response?
If you're interested in partnering with us in a country where we operate, please see below for a list of PSE Points of Contacts from our missions.
