Private Capital for Sustainable Development

This study examined 23 innovative investment funds and vehicles

Overview

In 2015-2016, the firm was contracted by the Danida Evaluation Department of Denmark’s Foreign Ministry to carry out research on how publicly funded donor agencies and development finance institutions can mobilize private capital for sustainable development.   Using public funds to conduct due diligence, share and mitigate risk, strengthen investee capacity, and insist on improved ESG performance are among such strategies.  In particular, the structured, layered fund model provides an effective organizational framework for implementation for blended finance and impact investing.
