Humans of the Indo-Pacific: Reclaiming Development | Part 2 |

ORF PolicyPod

Continuing the conversation on development strategies in the Indo-Pacific, how can the international community leverage the growing young population in the global south? Digital connectivity and cybersecurity partnerships have played a disruptive role in accelerating sustainable development in countries like India. Will this continuing trend strengthen the cooperation between Asia-Pacific countries, particularly in the thriving startup ecosystem? “If you want to have an impact in a country like India or Indonesia, it is much more important to have a financial impact. For instance, work with the State Bank of India or the PTSMI in Indonesia because the capillarity of these institutions will guarantee that we will reach out to a fairly large number of clients or partners. I would tend to assume that rather than working on sectors it would be better to work on actors.” states Philippe Orliange, International Operations Executive Director, AFD, How can the public and private investment sector come together to build resilient economic models?
