SPRING Initiative (USAID Economic Growth, Education and Environment (E3)):  SPRING is a strategic partnership with the United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DFID).  The project is managed by DFID, who invited USAID to join with DFID and the Nike Foundation by providing funding for monitoring and evaluation of a unique business accelerator program, which enabled USAID to leverage an additional $25 million in partners' funds with a contribution of $5 million. DFID manages all implementation while USAID work consists of evaluating the impact of the project on several businesses. The program was designed by DFID as an experimental approach to benefit adolescent girls with no similar programs on the market, and met USAID's policy objectives to address the needs of girls and young women.  The partnership was established through a sole source international treaty mechanism.  The Spring Acceleratorator engages private sector entrepreneurs to address problems facing adolescent girls by developing products that can help them, directly or indirectly, to learn, save, and earn in safety.  SPRING uses a human-centered design accelerator to help viable firms understand the needs and conditions of girls and develop a market to benefit them through self-sustaining business models. SPRING is expected to benefit at least 200,000 girls by the end of the project. USAID is ensuring effectiveness and accountability to the U.S. taxpayer by overseeing strong monitoring and evaluation in order to replicate best practices in other programming. Benefitting Country/ies are Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan.
