JUNE, 2022

Dear Partner,

Do you know that Pfizer has launched an accord to improve health equity for 1.2 billion people living in 45 lower-income countries? Have you come across the latest publication by IQVIA supported by Hystra on scaling up inclusive healthcare initiatives in low and middle income countries? Or, have you registered for the “Opening up the Inclusive Business Treasure Chest” webinar to be hosted by Inclusive Business Action Network later this month. You can find all these and more in this edition of our monthly inclusive growth newsletter!

In this edition, you can access recent news, latest articles, and topical blogs on six sectors: Sustainable Agriculture, Financial Services, Clean Cookstoves, Healthcare, Impact Investment, and Last-mile Distribution. Furthermore, you can download three insightful publications. The report on "Scaling-Up Inclusive Healthcare Initiatives in Low- and Middle-Income Countries" by IQVIA and Hystra assesses the landscape of global inclusive initiatives and identifies innovations that can strengthen the impact of businesses. "The 60 Decibels Microfinance Index" unearths what does social impact mean for microfinance institutions. The CGAP report on "How can financial services support platform work?" draws insights from five emerging e-platform markets to strengthen market based approaches for lower income communities.

We recommend you to set a reminder in your calendars for the upcoming events hosted by the World Bank, iBAN, and FinEquity. You can find the links below.

You can share your feedback at dialogue@re-emergingworld.com and help us serve you better in our next newsletter.

See you next month!

Best Regards,
Team Re-emerging World
