Engaging the private sector in fragile and conflict-affected environments: lessons from Haiti and Eastern Congo

Hear from practitioners engaging in the Haiti and Eastern DRC contexts and the different interventions they apply in conflict and crisis-affected environments.

Speakers will discuss the challenges they have encountered — including with infrastructure and technology, as well as balancing speed with sustainability — and the adjustments they have made engaging the private sector, particularly as part of humanitarian response and recovery.

Participants will gain insights into how development and humanitarian practitioners can work through these challenges for sustainable market-level outcomes.
