the public and private sectors to co-finance scalable local solutions to
support partnerships and ensure that the poor and vulnerable have access to
essential services; (d) catalyzes new and existing partnerships, local
solutions and co-investment through a whole-of-market approach across the
projects areas of technical focus; and (e) fosters a culture of learning
and adaptation.
