From community resilience to impact

WatchAbout the Event
Join Devex and Deloitte for an online event that will explore why investing in infrastructure projects needs to prioritize measurable social impact.
With climate change and increasing populations, countries like South Korea, Indonesia, and Egypt are moving their capital cities at great expense. The social impact of such investments has never been more important, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where rising debt service costs and global inflation mean that prioritizing high-impact projects is vital.
But how can we ensure that communities are engaged, and that projects are sustainable and resilient?
Coinciding with this year’s United Nations Financing for Development Forum, experts will share their insights and real-life examples to help us better understand the challenges and opportunities of infrastructure investments. Register now to join this critical conversation.
