Social Impact Bonds pay for success!
Doris Mauron Klopfenstein
Explore the concept of Social Investing and learn how to develop Social Impact Bonds for development programs.
This year, the United Nations has appealed for $22.5 billion to provide humanitarian aid to more than 105 million people; 13 million people more than in 2017. Yet, a funding gap of $12 billion has been registered. Are further stakeholders with open and innovative mindsets required to crack the challenge, or will a novel constellation of existing stakeholders suffice?
The prospect of smart capital in development aid pays for success. This talk looks at innovative conditional financing vs. unconditional financing.
