VEGA is a trusted organization in the field of international development and its strength lies in the unique and proven ability of its members to mobilize volunteers to support economic growth in emerging markets around the globe. VEGA was originally designed in conjunction with USAID to provide Missions with an agile, responsive mechanism to secure volunteer based technical expertise, often as a complement to paid consultants and full time staff implementing complex, multi-year development programs. Our current member organizations supply the expertise and implement programs.

By joining VEGA, your benefits will include:

1. New Business: Through VEGA’s leader with associates award, all member organizations may bid to participate on every proposal submitted to the Alliance, either as Lead Implementing Organizations (Lead Members only) or as sub-implementors.
2. Expanded Capacity: The ability to pool your resources and specialized economic development expertise with other member organizations.
3. Increased Outreach: VEGA promotes the expertise of each member organization through Mission visits, outreach materials, a website and special events.
4. Best Practices: The ability to exchange best practices with other members as VEGA engineers new economic development models for future programs.
5. Participation: Not only will each member have representation on the Board of Directors but may also participate on special subcommittees that guide the development of VEGA and the government’s use and interaction with volunteer organizations.
