Evaluation of Competitiveness Initiatives: Survey of Non-USAID Experiences
Examines the range of non-USAID clustering experiences and supporting policies and practices, and assesses their success or failure, as well as identifying issues, obstacles, opportunities and constraints to their development. The focus of the survey is industrial clustering activities by donors and agencies other than that undertaken by USAID. It examines supply-side based competitiveness initiatives in both developing and industrialized countries. In so doing, it evaluates the efforts that have been made to make these countries successful international competitors in particular activities in terms of the various methods, approaches and procedures that have been used in the interventions. United States Agency for International Development (USAID). August 2003.
