This paper introduces Nesta Impact Investments fund and the Standards of Evidence for Impact Investing.
From original paper:
"Impact Investing is gaining ground. the prospect of being able to tackle social challenges whilst making a profit is an attractive proposition. But too often evidence of impact is missing. We need evidence to establish whether a product or service is benefitting those it sets out to serve, and then to focus investment on products and services that can make the most difference. "
