By partnering with U.S. corporations, USAID and other development agencies can help developing countries innovate new technologies, leapfrog infrastructure investment, and create new markets and sustainable livelihoods. Using technology and innovation to change the lives of millions around the world, these partnerships may also help shape a different view of America as a global power: smart and capable, focused on success and results, not ideology. However, these partnerships can be a challenge to develop and sustain. How can Congress work with the private sector and development agencies to enable these partnerships for success? Dr. Michael D. McDonald of Health Initiatives Foundation, Inc. suggests directing resources into the communities where Haitians live in order to set up a positive ecosystem. Hear the reply from Dr. Rajiv Shah, Administrator of USAID.
