Abstract: This funds travel for two researchers to a conference for Xcelerator training among U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) grantees.

The customized training program, called Xcelerator, will leverage NCIIA’s experience in ensuring well-designed pathways to scale for socially-minded products and services.
