In recent years, significant strides have been made towards improving global social outcomes across access to health, education, and better livelihoods, thanks to the efforts of multiple actors including governments, foundations and global donors. Yet a lot more needs to be done in order to achieve the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Innovative finance promises to play a key role in helping mobilize additional capital and achieving greater change with the current public and donor financing.
AVPN member KOIS works with public and private organizations to design and deploy the right innovative financing mechanisms to address key social and environmental problems and create more impact.
The webinar will:
- Provide an understanding of innovative finance and the range of tools available to funders, as well as address common myths and perceptions
- Demonstrate, through concrete examples, the potential of innovative finance to create more impact per philanthropic dollar spent
- Showcase the ability of innovative finance to leverage more capital from private sector for every philanthropic dollar
- Discuss how to engage in innovative finance, the pros and cons of different instruments, and address potential concerns and challenges
