Overview

USAID is building alliances with Russian private sector and government partners, mobilizing new resources to build schools, raise HIV/AIDS awareness, and improve the livelihood of Russians in rural areas by creating jobs, providing access to credit, and engaging citizens in community development.

Many Russian government authorities, at the federal and regional level, are leading progressive reforms using domestic financial resources, and USAID is working with them to provide technical expertise, project models and international best practices.

There is also a growing trend of corporate social responsibility in Russia, and many companies are interested in supporting socio-economic and community projects. USAID's public-private partnerships unite the unique skills and resources of each partner and apply them to development challenges for sustainable solutions.
