This new class explores opportunities for the private sector particularly when coupled with development aid and assistance from the public sector. Each session will focus on building out a toolkit of mechanisms and strategies to unlock private finance for development goals, and reviews both large-scale projects and microfinance/impact investing. Topics to be covered include bonds and capital markets; constraints in access to finance in developing countries; understanding the main players in development finance; project finance for development; innovations in development finance; and impact investing.
