On May 22-23, CLDP, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Development Finance Corporation, and the United States Trade and Development Agency, conducted a workshop exchange focused on Port Financing. Public and private sector experts presented policies and infrastructure initiatives to illustrate best practices in financial management, procurement, and logistics. The workshop also covered regional connectivity and how the Maldives can best situate itself without incurring unmanageable debt. CLDP’s programming with the Maldives seeks to encourage infrastructure development and foster opportunities for foreign direct investment.
