Speaking at the U.S. launch of the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation, USAID Administrator Henrietta Fore said the advent of public-private partnerships has changed the face of development.

Fore spoke at a reception for the Black Sea Trust (BST), a local grantmaking initiative in the Black Sea region, and one such public-private partnership that includes USAID, GMF, the Mott Foundation, the government of Romania, and the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Latvia.
"I believe we are entering into a new era of development: an era of inter-dependence, when special emphasis will be placed on leveraging information, ideas, technology, and public-private partnerships to spur innovation and results," she said.
"This new era calls for increased use of partnerships to accomplish shared development objectives and the creation of what I have termed, a Global Development Commons," she continued. "The Global Development Commons represents my vision in moving development forward. It consists of a community of collaboration, partnership, and action between public and private donors, NGOs, host governments and civil society -- all operating as equals. A Global Development Commons relies on the communication and interconnection of governments, NGOs, businesses, and individuals within a region to work together where our interests overlap."
Fore was joined in remarks by GMF President Craig Kennedy, Mott Foundation Senior Vice President Maureen Smyth, Latvian Ambassador to the United States Andrejs Pildegovics , and Daniela Gitman, charge d'affairs at the Romanian Embassy. Approximately 100 people from the development, diplomatic, media, and policymaking communities were in attendance.
