I am working with the UN Capital Development Fund to find ways to finance small rural infrastructure projects in less developed countries.
Tanzania is the country that I am focusing on at this time.
I would like to see better cooperation between the public sector (development finance banks, export credit agencies, aid agencies, NGOs, etc.) and the private financial sector. By more effectively working together the public and private sector can make considerably more financing available for economic development purposes in poor countries.
I am an economist and specialize in country risk assessment and structured finance. I have worked in both the public sector (Export-Import Bank of the United States) and private sector (Duff & Phelps Credit Rating and Ambac Assurance Corporation.
