The United States Agency for International Development, the world’s largest aid agency, has finally released its long-awaited new acquisition and assistance strategy, which drives how it allocates 85% of its multibillion-dollar funding pot.
The acquisition and assistance strategy — commonly known as the A&A strategy — shapes the way the agency gives grants and awards contracts.
The strategy lays out three main organizational priorities: strengthening the workforce, cutting red tape, and making it easier for new organizations to become USAID partners.
