CESD proposes a review of existing frameworks, and the incorporation of essential elements of sustainability in order for this financial model to yield its desired dividend. We seek to collaborate with industry practitioners, MDAs, regulatory bodies to build capacity, strategize on how to bridge the existing infrastructural gaps through PPIP
