Market Baseline Study: Impact Investment in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia in 2013
April 01, 2014
This research was published more than 5 years ago, some information may be out of date.
The baseline study assesses and records the characteristics of the impact investment market at the outset of the Impact Programme in 2013 in order to provide a critical reference resource at the conclusion of the programme in 2026, when changes attributable to it will be assessed. The baseline is focused on the impact investment market in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia but, importantly, it seeks to place trends in these regions in a global impact investment context. It also focuses on DFID’s impact investment priority – benefiting those living at the Base of the Pyramid.
From original article:
"Although interest is gathering among a diverse range of stakeholders in the role that impact investment can play, there is still a need to get a greater common understanding around: (i) the types and costs of impact investment interventions. and (ii) what the interventions might achieve."
