Enabling and financing locally-led adaptation: What role can blended finance and digital technologies play? To answer this question, join us this Thursday, 📅 Jan.25, at ⏰ 9 am EST. The CIFAR Alliance's Climate Resilient Agriculture Co-Lab (CRAg), will host this Brown Bag, led by our esteemed colleague Graham A N Wright, Group Managing Director of MicroSave Consulting (MSC), along with great partners and colleagues, Wendy Chamberlin, VP of Research and Advisory at Busara and Eric Kaduru, Senior Technical Advisor at CARE.

This webinar seeks to start a discussion on “How can we unlock private sector finance and use digital technologies to optimize and scale up LLA? 👉 To register: https://lnkd.in/gFvre55M BFA Global Catalyst Fund Jesse F.
