Origin Story of the Debt Swap in Sierra Leone

Welcome to Centers and Margins, 

A podcast where we systematically unpack policy discussions from the engine room of reform. From global financing tools to the gritty realities of local politics, we explore what it really takes to move ideas from concept to implementation. 

Episode One introduces the origin story of debt2health swap in Sierra Leone, the concerns about the viability of the instrument for the country and lessons from the very early stages of reform. 

Hosted by Dr. Nkechi Olalere, a health financing and systems advisor with over two decades of experience across the private and development sectors, we dive deep into global health, systems-level change, and leadership, bringing perspective and grounded realities to the conversation.
