The USAID Africa Trade and Investment (ATI) activity aims to boost economic growth, trade, and investment between the United States and African nations, supporting USAID's priorities of Private Sector Engagement and Financing Self-Reliance. The ATI program includes the Liberia Agribusiness Incubator and Development Activity (AIDA), which strengthens Liberia's commercial agricultural sector, particularly benefiting women and youth. The program involves three regional incubators providing training to MSMEs and hosting pitch competitions for grants.
MSA is developing a gender-sensitive Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) strategy. This strategy provides ongoing insights, supports comprehensive monitoring systems, and ensures learning and adaptive management through periodic monitoring. By integrating CLA principles and documenting project impact, MSA helps ensure the program's success in improving investment, productivity, and job creation in Liberia's agribusiness sector.
