MELSA is conducting a performance evaluation of Private Sector Engagement (PSE). This evaluation will gather evidence on the results and lessons of USAID/Colombia's Private Sector Engagement (PSE) and the sustainability of its interventions during the current Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) This evaluation will outline the Mission's PSE approach and provide evidence of good practices, opportunities for improvement, and course correction actions that can inform USAID interventions with a PSE component and the next CDCS
The Agency's PSE Policy was launched in 2018. Since that time, USAID/Colombia has prioritized four policy principles: 1. Engage early and often; 2. Incentivize and value PSE throughout planning and programming; 3. Expand the use of USAID approaches and tools that unlock the potential of the private sector; and 4. Build and act on the evidence of what works and what does not in PSE.

La Política de PSE de la Agencia fue lanzada en 2018. Desde entonces, USAID/Colombia ha priorizado cuatro principios de la política: 1. Involucrarse de forma temprana y frecuente; 2. Incentivar y valorar la PSE en toda la planeación y programación; 3. Expandir el uso de enfoques y herramientas de USAID que permitan aprovechar el potencial del sector privado; y 4.
