Through investment partnership facilitation, the Office of Private Capital and Microenterprise (PCM) engages investors from across asset classes, financiers, or professional organizations to increase availability of private resources – both capital and expertise  –  that can be applied at scale toward U.S. development priorities.

Examples of PCM’s Investment Partnership Facilitation include:

• Sustainable Development Investment Partnership: As a founding member of the Sustainable Development Investment Partnership (SDIP), PCM is supporting a global effort to scale up sustainable infrastructure investments in developing economies. The Partnership combines risk mitigation, co-investment and technical assistance to enable specific projects to gain access to private capital. Read more

• Sarona Investment Partnership: Under an investment partnership with Sarona Asset Management, USAID is working to develop and pilot a currency risk mitigation instrument that can hedge or insure against currency fluctuations, thereby attracting more institutional investment to development priorities.
