    The Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA23APS00007, issued by USAID on April 27, 2023, invites proposals for the Private Sector Collaboration Pathway (PSCP). This APS enables a flexible funding approach aimed at fostering collaborations between private sector entities and USAID, emphasizing market-driven solutions to development challenges. It encourages co-creation of strategies that align with USAID’s private sector engagement policies for sustainable economic growth. Collaborations must include private sector partners, focusing on enterprise-driven development. The application process comprises five key steps: exploring collaboration opportunities, submitting concepts, conducting reviews, continuing co-creation, and finalizing awards. Notably, the APS is unfunded; any financial commitment must be requested from specific USAID operational units after concept approval. The document outlines eligibility requirements, role definitions, and document submission expectations. Overall, the PSCP APS underscores USAID's commitment to leveraging private sector capabilities to address social and economic development goals, while outlining a structured, communicative, and collaborative framework for potential partnerships.
