The guiding principle of the course is the global need to find workable and scalable models to generate financing from all sources in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which should also be adaptable to the specific requirements and conditions of each country. In my own experience working for a non-profit organization, joining forces and pooling resources in multi-stakeholder partnerships is key to tackling scarcity and multiplying the effects of development financing. For my final project, I have chosen to broadly address stakeholders in development to suggest how cross-functional project development can reduce investment risk and improve the provision of basic facilities in lower- and middle income countries.
