The event will provide an update on latest developments and inspire stakeholders for creative, joint advocacy.


Framing this topic

This short section provides context for the event to ensure all participants, regardless of prior knowledge, are equipped to engage with the discussion.

Impact-Linked Finance – providing “better terms for better impact – is taking off with significantly increasing traction globally. The innovative financing practice is being applied by more and more actors, from DFIs such as BII, DFC and IDB to impact investors such as Acumen or catalytic funders such as SDC or the Jacobs Foundation. Evidence shows that Impact-Linked Finance (ILF) can be an effective means for unlocking the impact potential of enterprises, funds, and financial institutions. Moreover, the practice has proven effective to steer investees towards achieving positive outcomes that would otherwise not have been achieved.
