Hosted by Abt Global: Bridging the Finance Gap for Social Infrastructure

Many communities and public facilities cannot afford the capital expenditures to build or maintain the infrastructure required for access to electricity.

• How can we work together to attract commercial capital beyond grants?
• How can health care, education, and other social infrastructure facilities keep up with operations and maintenance after initial construction?
• What place do social equity and sustainability have in valuing or prioritizing investments?
