Rethinking Government Capacity: Leveraging the Private Sector

Tuesday, October 14, 2014 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Please join us for the launch of the CSIS Global Sustainability Series investigating the role of the private sector in engaging with the U.S. government, host governments, and NGOs to help address some of the world’s most complex global sustainable development issues. CSIS will host four public events as part of this one-year series. At this inaugural session, discussion will center on innovative ways of building government capacity in African governments, focusing on how private sector actors, governments, and multilateral institutions can support effective planning and management of infrastructure development to promote sustained, inclusive development and economic transformation.
