Impact Investing & Blended Finance

Blended_Finance_Heading

Using funds more effectively and mobilizing private investment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals has become a key concern for many development agencies and donor organizations.  While the idea to create blended finance models is compelling, one specific approach holds particular promise: empowering high-impact enterprises with market-based solutions to scale and deliver positive impact in a sustainable way – a bottom-up approach.

The Impact Investment & Blended Finance (IIBF) executive program is aimed at doing just that. The program is explicitly shaped towards providers of concessional capital such as project and program managers in development agencies, public or multilateral organizations, and foundations, with a focus on international development. IIBF is a practice-driven 3-day course that is designed for participants who strive to maximize the impact of their grants or investments, master the basics of Blended Finance and to be on top of the latest developments and discussions. All with the aim of effectively crowd-in private capital to finance the Sustainable Development Goals.

The program is organized by the Initiative for Blended Finance, with the program partners University of Zurich Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth, Convergence, and Roots of Impact.
