USAID - from the American people

USAID

The USAID-funded Feed the Future Market Systems and Partnerships (MSP) Activity is advancing learning and good practice on market systems development and private sector engagement within USAID, USAID’s implementing partners, and market actors. MSP facilitates private sector partnerships to inclusive and resilient agriculture-led economic growth. MSP-facilitated partnerships channel corporate firms and investors outside normal business practices by taking a socially inclusive approach to testing a new model or to scaling a business service or product; and shine a light on systemic barriers in the market system which constrain private sector involvement and investment.
