Private Program: Samantha Power, Administrator, USAID

The private conversation, featuring USAID Administrator Samantha Power, focused on the importance of private sector engagement with the Agency. Participants addressed opportunities to improve the business environment and to promote high-impact investment to generate prosperity in Latin America as a whole—with a key focus on Central America.

As the Biden-Harris Administration shared in its recent Call to Action, it believes the best way to promote advancement in Central America is through multi-sector approaches. It is in this context that private meeting took place to explore opportunities and identify challenges in how the private sector can engage with USAID.
