On June 6th, BEC members met with USAID representatives to provide input for USAID's Private Sector Engagement planning. USAID sees the private sector as an engine of growth and self-reliance for developing countries, and they are working to identify shared interests and value in achieving education goals. BEC is currently circulating a member survey to gather additional input regarding implementers' experiences with Private Sector Engagement. BEC will continue to provide feedback to enrich and guide planning for strategic Private Sector Engagement in education.
