Overview
As part of the firm’s advisory role with the Impact Investing Working Group of World University Service of Canada, a development NGO working in 25 countries, Dr. Edward Jackson prepared a research paper entitled Impact Investing: A Tool for New Partnerships for Sustainable Development. The study identifies five roles that international volunteer cooperation organizations (IVCOs) could play in in the impact investing space: investor or co-investor, product developer, business advisor, field-builder or evaluator, or some combinations of these functions.
