This week’s podcast features Lawrence Camp, former Director and now Senior Adviser with USAID’s Private Capital and Microenterprise Office  which is part of the Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and Environment.  

We get into: (1)  how developmental finance has changed over the past 25-30 years, (2) the role of alternative financing structures (i.e. blended finance and pay for performance) in a development context, (3) the evolving role of development banks as catalytic funders rather than principal funders, (4) how to facilitate coordination between development and humanitarian, and (5) the future of development assistance.

I actually had a ton of questions for Lawrence but we ran out time. It good show. Hope you enjoy it.

Note: Lawrence's views do not represent those of USAID, he did this podcast speaking on his own behalf, and not the Agency's.
