Bringing Social Entrepreneurship to Scale: The Case for ‘Riders for Health’ in The Gambia

September 23, 2011: Bringing Social Entrepreneurship to Scale: The Case for ‘Riders for Health’ in The Gambia

How do we scale public-private partnerships to facilitate growth and development in rural areas? Villages at "the last mile" tend to be ignored by most organizations as they are difficult to reach and usually inaccessible. The challenge of cost-effective transport infrastructure limits the effectiveness of all interventions directed toward rural communities – from food security and health to education and livelihoods. Riders for Health has found a solution to this problem by utilizing a variety of modalities and innovative financing mechanisms. This event will explore how Riders has leveraged government, philanthropic and commercial capital to deliver cost effective, sustainable and universal health access in The Gambia. The event will be held from 10:00am - 11:30am. Please RSVP to Lee Williams at lwilliams@csis.org.
