(d) All four
Answer: D
The correct answer is (d), all four. The UNOPS Sustainable Investments in Infrastructure and Innovation (S3i) initiative invests in affordable housing, mass rapid transport, health care, and renewable energy.
The S3i initiative was launched in 2018 with the aim of mobilizing private sector investment in sustainable infrastructure projects in developing countries. The initiative focuses on four key sectors: affordable housing, mass rapid transport, health care, and renewable energy.
In the affordable housing sector, the S3i initiative has invested in projects in countries such as India, Kenya, and Nigeria. These projects are aimed at providing affordable housing to low-income families.
In the mass rapid transport sector, the S3i initiative has invested in projects in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. These projects are aimed at improving urban mobility and reducing traffic congestion.
In the health care sector, the S3i initiative has invested in projects in countries such as Ghana, Rwanda, and Tanzania. These projects are aimed at improving access to quality health care services.
In the renewable energy sector, the S3i initiative has invested in projects in countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the Philippines. These projects are aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
The S3i initiative is a unique and innovative approach to mobilizing private sector investment in sustainable infrastructure projects. The initiative has the potential to make a significant contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
