It also aligns with USAID’s Local Capacity Strengthening Policy, which recognizes USAID’s commitment to collaborating with local partners to define their own vision for success; strengthen their ability to be effective and relevant actors within their local communities and contexts; and elevate local ownership in sustaining development results.

Furthermore, this APS builds upon Agency policy, guidance, and emerging practice in the areas of systems thinking, collaboration, learning, and adaptive, contextually informed design and management. It prioritizes diversity and encourages approaches that shift decision-making power to local people who have traditionally been marginalized, such as women, youth, religious and ethnic minorities, LGBTQI+, and gender diverse people.

It enhances USAID’s capability to work with diverse local partners, to learn from these engagements, and to share this learning broadly.
