Introduction

As the world’s largest retailer, Walmart plays a unique role in the global economy and has shown increasing interest in collaborating with USAID. USAID has identified Walmart as one of its top 40 corporate partners and has established a relationship manager to maintain a strategic dialogue. The two organizations can use their combined reach to address challenges with the potential to influence sustainable development and improve livelihood security.
