GDAs are a particular type of public-private partnership whereby USAID works with the private sector to tackle important business challenges and development problems - in a replicable, sustainable and scalable manner. USAID works with private sector partners to advance mutual interests while leveraging at least $1 in resources from private sector partners for every $1 USAID contributes. Prospective applicants should read the 2013 GDA APS in its entirety.
