The US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Kiawah Trust of the UK, and Dasra, an Indian strategic philanthropy foundation, on Wednesday launched a $14-million partnership in Mumbai to address the healthcare needs of adolescent girls, mothers, newborns and children, a USAID release said. Rajiv Shah, Administrator of USAID, invited India’s entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, foundations, financial institutions, investors, and philanthropists to join USAID in driving meaningful solutions to India’s development challenges. He said development solutions proven effective in India can be scaled in collaboration with the private sector to benefit poor and vulnerable populations in India and across the globe.
