Millennium Partners is thrilled to be featured in the Small Business Association for International Companies’s (SBAIC) quarterly newsletter. In the latest edition, Millennium looks back on 2023 and its role in setting the stage for impactful initiatives in 2024.
In June 2023, Millennium Partners was honored with the prestigious Small Business of the Year award for fiscal year 2022 by the USAID Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization. This recognition highlighted Millennium’s commitment to delivering creative solutions, exceptional customer service, innovative ideas, and cost-efficient delivery in its mission to provide high-quality, sustainable solutions to governments and communities worldwide.
Among the notable projects of 2023 was the USAID/Bosnia and Herzegovina E-Governance Activity, a $10.5 million endeavor aimed at improving the government of Bosnia’s efficiency and overall governance through state-of-the-art e-governance systems to deliver public services and improve the business enabling environment. Key accomplishments included implementing e-signature services and launching a cloud-based Border Inspection Management System, significantly enhancing trade efficiency and transparency in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In Moldova, Millennium Partners successfully concluded the Access to Justice project amidst challenging economic and political circumstances triggered by regional conflicts. Despite the adversities, Millennium’s team persevered, providing legal aid and increasing legal awareness for over 1.2 million people.
In Ethiopia, the USAID Feteh (Justice) Activity concluded with notable achievements in strengthening the country’s legal institutions, drafting new laws to promote investment and economic growth, and assisting civil society organizations to be effective reform advocates.
Looking ahead to 2024, Millennium Partners is poised for continued success with the launch of the $28.9 million USAID Global Accountability Program (GAP), dedicated to enhancing partner countries’ systems and capacity to prevent, detect, investigate, and disrupt transnational corruption, grand corruption, and kleptocracy—including as it manifests across regions and high-risk sectors—and to build resilience to corruption. GAP forms the cornerstone of USAID’s efforts to tackle transnational corruption and its destructive impact on development.
