The Office of Development Partners (ODP) of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) invites interest from prospective partner organizations to form public-private Global Development Alliances to carry out activities in support of USAID’s international development objectives. Alliance partners are expected to bring significant new resources, ideas, technologies, and/or partners to address development problems in countries where USAID is currently working.

Opportunities for GDA funding exist across common themes for all USAID regions, but youth (15-24) are a priority target group in the Asia/ Middle East region, where USAID is interested in funding interventions that include, but are not limited to: job creation, vocational training and higher education (e.g. Training Future Leaders).
