With inputs from Project Technical Lead Ms. Lorna Grace, Rural Finance Specialist Mr. Alok Kumar Singh, and Regional Analyst Mr. Osasu Otaknor, participants received technical guidance on how RAPID Growth initiatives and structures can be further strengthened through the application of Public, Private, Producer Partnership (4P) principles.
