This Guide is intended to serve as an overview for development professionals at USAID and elsewhere who wish to learn more about how to mobilize private capital and engage with private enterprise to accomplish development objectives. It has been written to accompany the “Mobilizing Financing for Development” course offered by USAID’s Office of Private Capital and Microenterprise (PCM) and Deloitte5, but can equally serve as a stand-alone introduction to this timely topic.
