We’ll look at real-world case studies tackling healthcare and financial inclusion, explore which sectors are best suited to private-sector solutions, and consider whether investment and philanthropic funds are better spent scaling start-ups or funding micro-businesses.
This session is inspired by week 5 of David Nash’s 7-week program Impact in Global Development: A Discussion Series, which explores the history of global development and different approaches taken to achieve progress in this field.
