SUNY/CID, as a partner to CARANA Corporation, holds a place through March 2011 on the Support for Economic
Growth and Institutional Reform (SEGIR) General Business, Trade, and
Investment Services (GBTI) IQC from USAID’s Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture, and Trade
(EGAT). CARANA, with SUNY/CID and its other partners, competes with other short-listed firms to provide technical
leadership in business, trade, and investment development and reform
– particularly on devising and implementing robust strategies to promote real
economic growth, reduce poverty, graduate transitional countries from aid
to trade, promote open competitive markets, develop the private sector, and
mobilize private financing.
SUNY/CID’s role as a member of the team is to contribute to both
the macroeconomic and microeconomic foundation for growth. SUNY/CID promotes
legal and institutional reform and facilitates reform of economic policy and
institutions. SUNY/CID contributes to modernizing policies and laws
to improve a country’s global competitiveness through strengthening trade-related
laws, antitrust provisions, laws in the areas of monopolies and cartels.
It facilitates legal reform of commercial codes including policies related
to new business entry. It helps to address laws on intellectual property
and use of foreign technology. It helps bring about improvements in
laws on investment, both foreign direct investment and domestic investment.
SUNY/CID can play a crucial role in helping to improve laws to mitigate barriers
to business profitability. SUNY/CID works at the nexus – where policymakers
and interest groups intersect – and helps them interact successfully to bring
about needed reforms. In the area of microeconomics, SUNY/CID promotes
enterprise development and competitiveness and microenterprise
development. SUNY/CID works with entrepreneurs and new businesses to
assist them to grow and thrive.
