Increasing Private Sector Capacity
Listen now
Description
During this episode Tiwonge speaks with Remi Adeseun, Director of Salient Advisory about the untapped private sector potential in Africa. A number of local private sector companies are available to strengthen public health supply chain capacity in a variety of ways such as distributing health products, providing discrete activities (warehousing, transportation or cold chain maintenance) and integrating technology. However, these resources remain largely underutilized in many African countries. Adeseun discusses important elements of strong public-private partnerships and how governments can create an enabling environment to increase private sector participation in the public health supply chain.  Listen now to learn more about private sector capacity in Africa.  Read VillageReach’s Supply Chain Integration Framework to learn more: www.productstopeople.org.
