The mission of USAID Macedonia’s Competitiveness Activity (MCA) is to build the prosperity of the average citizen of Macedonia by helping Macedonian enterprises generate the vision and initiatives that will result in their increased competitiveness in domestic, regional and international markets. USAID MCA works with Macedonian enterprises of all sizes, helping them to develop and market complex products and services to command higher prices from demanding customers around the world. Clusters are inter-related firms and other institutions that drive the competitiveness of a given industry. Clusters consist of private enterprises of various sizes, including producers, suppliers and buyers, plus representatives of labor, government, professional associations and academic, research or training institutes. MCA and its local experts in competitiveness now work with five clusters: * Lamb meat and cheese * Tourism * Information Technology (IT) * Wine * Apparel MCA is working with its Macedonian partners to create better strategies, better products and stronger companies with better access to international markets through improved production, operation and quality. The Project is helping Macedonia to choose prosperity. This activity is implemented by Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH). |
