The US and Israel recently agreed to expand collaboration between USAID and MASHAV, Israel's Development Agency of International Cooperation, through co-innovation and the deployment of technology solutions to bolster and foster self-reliance in emerging and frontier markets. Chief among their priorities are the digital deployment and the dissemination of 5G technology and the promotion of policies and programs that support blended finance and impact investing.
