Description:
Many impact investing funds and deals simply replicate the financially focused incentives of traditional debt and equity. The new IFC principles for impact management go a long way towards clarifying which funds are adopting impact investing best practices, but if we want to ensure that the best practices continue to drive real impact, impact investing deals and funds must begin to break from a financial-only focus of the traditional financial system, and do it in a contractual way. Join us in this webinar to discuss the opportunities that funders have to integrate impact priorities into deal and fund structures. We’ll look at cases like the Green Outcomes Fund and the Clínicas del Azúcar SIINC to explore what is possible and what has been learned by industry pioneers.Check out Aunnie Patton Power’s article Incentives for Driving Impact in Deal and Fund Structures in Impact Alpha for a preview of the discussion.This webinar is part of a series of discussions linked to our Impact Investing in Africa Executive Education course.
