The Private Capital workgroup seeks to reduce poverty by leveraging private capital, attracting private investments, and encouraging local engagement and ownership of local markets to create jobs and provide self-employment opportunities.

Goals of this workgroup include:

• 7.1: Establish a Promise Zone Investment Fund or “Enterprise Bank” to encourage and support private investment in the region.
• 7.2: Develop a major regional attraction to transform the region into a destination.
• 7.3: Establish programs and relationships to attract international investment.
• 7.4: Invest agricultural projects in a coordinated way to develop a food hub.
