The private sector plays a critical role in the GFF. There is an enormous potential to tap private sector resources and innovation to improve maternal, child and adolescent health and nutrition outcomes. A critical element of financing for the development agenda is catalyzing greater private investment, and integrating private sector solutions for country priorities, including through public-private partnerships and innovative financing.

Co-organized with MSD for Mothers, this high-level reception during the World Economic Forum discussed opportunities to maximize private sector engagement in GFF process in countries and help accelerate progress towards better health and wellbeing of women, children and adolescents and, ultimately, the achievement of sustainable development goals.

  • Khawar Mann, Partner, The Abraaj Group
