nvesting in Rural Prosperity: A Vision for the Future of Rural Developmentnado-web
Recent and projected demographic and economic transitions present both challenges and opportunities for rural communities. Whether rural communities and the people who call them home will thrive in the future depends in part on the approach that community leaders take to supporting workers, businesses, and families. An increasing body of evidence indicates that creating a strong sense of place, good quality of life, and inclusive access to opportunity may be deciding factors in whether a community will flourish or struggle over the long-term. Come to this session to hear from national thought leaders and on-the-ground practitioners about what this means for the work of Regional Development Organizations, their stakeholders, and the policies that support their work.

Public Private Partnership: Solution to Electricity Transmission Challenges i...Jide Usman
Power transmission is the life blood of getting electricity to the consumers. This is one aspect that is still being controlled by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Industry analysts have said that massive investment would be required to achieve rapid expansion and modernisation of the transmission infrastructure, which is largely in a decrepit state and the public private partnership (PPP) model is necessary since failure to drive significant increase in transmission capacity, which is a very critical link along the electricity value chain, is capable of jeopardising the ongoing reforms in the sector.

Mobilizing infrastructural investments through Water Operators' Partnerships ...IRC
This presentation by Steven van Rossum (World Waternet) and Prtha Hariram (FMO) describes how a blend of public and concessional financing is being used to attract larger investments for public water supply company SOMAGEP-SA in Mali. It was presented at the IRC WASH Debate "Blended finance: Is it all in a mix?" jointly organised with NWP on 4 December 2018 in The Hague, the Netherlands. Dutch development aid supports technical assistance through a Water Operator Partnership between Netherlands-based World Waternet and SOMAGEP-SA. Small investments from Dutch Development Bank FMO are used to improve energy efficiency and the reduction of non-revenue water, which will hopefully improve the performance and credit rating of SOMAGEP-SA.
