Tune in to this April 18 event to join the discussion on how we can help ensure more people across the world have greater access to high quality and affordable health care.
The world faces a monumental challenge: trillions of dollars of investment are required annually in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) to help alleviate poverty, boost prosperity, and address the impacts of climate change.
The World Bank Group will work to connect 250 million people to electricity through distributed renewable energy systems or the distribution grid while the African Development Bank Group will support an additional 50 million people.
Over half a billion people in Sub-Saharan Africa are at risk of being left behind without electricity access by 2030, with nearly 400 million of them living in countries subject to fragility, conflict, and violence.
A strong and engaged private sector is indispensible to ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. That's where IFC comes in - we have more than 60 years experience in unlocking private investment, creating markets and opportunities where they are needed most.
