Samantha Tedjosugondo, Vice President of Indonesia, recently participated in a panel at the Asia Pacific Care Forum 2024 in Bangkok, focusing on “How to Channel Private Capital into the Care Economy.” She was joined by Sujeev Shakay (Chair, Nepal Economic Forum), Hang Vu (IFC), and Sakshi Chadha (Digital Expert, UNCDF).
This session went beyond a typical panel discussion; it fostered an engaging dialogue where everyone in the room contributed their insights and collaborated on innovative ideas. This dynamic interaction highlighted the critical importance of collective efforts to drive meaningful change in the care economy.
Indeed, the conversation centred on the necessity for cross-sector partnerships and a whole-of-society approach, particularly emphasising the collaboration between the private sector and governments to develop supportive policies. Recognising care’s potential to drive sustainable economic and social progress, the discussion also underscored the urgent need for impact investors to take the lead in this space.
At Sweef Capital, we remain committed to advocating for increased investment that will transform care, empower women, and reshape economies.
