Private-Sector Development
AMEX’s pragmatic approach and broad expertise in private-sector development start with the hands-on experience of the firm’s principals, who have formed and operated several business enterprises in developing countries and have marketed their products in the US and Europe. In addition, the firm has a long history of designing and implementing country­wide strategies for private-sector development and trade expansion. AMEX’s business development consulting services have also involved the design and implementation of comprehensive programs to encourage local participation in small business creation and trade.
The firm’s expertise includes:

• Business association capacity building;
• Enterprise development;
• Export, trade, and competitiveness development;
• Policy and regulatory reform;
• Institutional and human-resource capacity building; and
• Project design, management and evaluation.
Examples of AMEX’s exceptional work in Private-Sector Development include:
• Managed USAID’s Ghana Trade and Investment Program, which established linkages between large enterprises and small or medium enterprises (SMEs), built sectoral alliance, resulting in export earnings of over US$30 million for SMEs;
• Support for the government of Burundi-creation of an export promotion agency; and
• Projects in Ghana, Burundi, and Morocco increased private-sector awareness, identified production and marketing weaknesses, conducted seminars and travel study programs, and developed technology transfer schemes.
