Twitter Top Ten
This week brought a number of developments in global health, social enterprise and financial inclusion – some promising, some disturbing, and one bittersweet.
As usual, we’ve tried to capture a small sample of the Twitter conversation around these happenings, along with some long-form pieces that vividly describe some of the big challenges and small triumphs in the sectors we cover.
As the new week begins, we invite you to let us know what’s happening in your neck of the Twittersphere. Tweet general social enterprise topics to @NextBillion or NB managing editor @ScotterAnderson, global health topics to @NextBillionHC and financial inclusion and impact investing topics to @NextBillionFI.
