GDA at a Glance
The Global Development Alliance (GDA) is USAID’s new business model which recognizes the importance of meeting development challenges through active collaboration with both traditional and non-traditional development actors. 

As part of USAID’s world-wide initiative to mobilize private resources, the USAID Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina wishes to encourage all potential partners, who are interested in contributing to BiH development, to approach the USAID Mission with their ideas.  The USAID Mission considers Bosnia and Herzegovina to be fruitful ground with many opportunities for various private entities and is welcoming ideas and creative approaches in addressing BiH problems and needs.

The Mission senses that this is a very good time to look for different views and potential interests of the private sector, since in September 2004 it is planning to go through new, five year Strategy planning session.

USAID’s mandate in Bosnia and Herzegovina includes support of four areas: Economic Transformation, Democratic Reform, Re-establishment of Multi-Ethnic Society and Cross Cutting Programs. (Detailed information about past and current projects implemented in BiH is available in the fact sheets posted on the USAID web page.) 

In the 1970s, 70 percent of resource flows from the United States to the developing world were from the official development assistance and 30 percent were from private sector.  Today, 80 percent of resource flows from the United States to the developing world are private and 20 percent are public, underscoring the need to diversify development, approaches away from an over reliance on traditional grant making.

The GDA initiative addresses this changing environment where government is still an important player, but is joined by many others such as nongovernmental organizations, foundations and private businesses. By forming Global Development Alliances (GDA) USAID aims to multiply the impact of its own efforts-and those of other agencies and governments involved in international development by mobilizing the ideas, efforts and resources of all these important groups.

All interested parties are encouraged to address any questions/concerns/ideas to the USAID GDA Team at:  gdateamsarajevo@usaid.gov.

Global Development Alliances
USAID/BiH trazi dobre partnere!

The Global Development Alliance (GDA) je novi poslovni model USAID-a koji istice znacaj izazova razvoja putem aktivne saradnje sa tradicionalnim i netradicionalnim faktorima razvoja.

Kao dio inicijative koju USAID pokrece sirom svijeta u cilju mobiliziranja privatnih resoursa, misija USAID-a u Bosni i Hercegovini zeli podstaknuti sve potencijalne partnere, zainteresirane da daju svoj doprinos razvoju BiH, da stupe u kontakt sa misijom USAID-a i iznesu svoje ideje.  Misija USAID-a smatra da je Bosna i Hercegovina plodno tlo sa mnogo prilika za razlicite privatne subjekte, te pozdravlja ideje i kreativan pristup u vezi sa rjesavanjem problema i potreba BiH.

Misija smatra da je ovo vrlo dobro vrijeme da se sagledaju razlicite perspektive i potencijalni interesi privatnog sektora, posto ce u septembru 2004. godine USAID raditi na usvajanju petogodisnje strategije djelovanja.

Mandat USAID-a u Bosni i Hercegovini ukljucuje podrsku namijenjenu za cetiri oblasti: ekonomska transformacija, demokratske reforme, ponovna uspostava multi-etnickog drustva i drustvo i programi koji se uzajamno prozimaju.  (Detaljnije informacije o proslim i tekucim projektima koji su implementirani u BiH nalaze se u Pregledu programa na USAID-ovoj web stranici.) 

Tokom 1970-tih godina, 70% resursa iz Sjedinjenih Drzava za zemlje u razvoju bilo je iz oficijelne pomoci za razvoj, a 30% je bilo iz privatnog sektora.  Danas, 80% pomoci iz Sjedinjenih Drzava za zemlje u razvoju potice iz privatnih izvora, dok samo 20%  sredstava dolazi javnog sektora, uz naglasenu potrebu da se obezbijedi raznolikost, a bez prevelikog oslanjanja na tradicionalne grantove.

GDA inicijativa obradjuje ovaj ambijent, u kom je vlada jos uvijek znacajan igrac, ali gdje su joj pridruzeni mnogi kao sto su nevladine organizacije, fondacije i privatne firme.  Formiranjem Global Development Alliances (GDA) USAID ima za cilj da uveca uticaj vlastitih napora kao i napora drugih agencija i vlada koje su ukljucene u medjunarodni razvoj tako sto ce mobilizirati ideje, napore i resurse svih ovih vaznih grupa.

Sve zainteresirane strane se pozivaju da dostave svoja pitanja/ideje USAID GDA tim-u na slijedecu adresu: gdateamsarajevo@usaid.gov.
