Whitepaper

In good company: Aligning stakeholder interests for development with social finance

Philanthropists worldwide seek to deploy capital in an impactful way to end poverty, promote prosperity and protect the planet. While it is crucial to attract more capital to address these social and environmental issues, this paper is for those who want to understand how they can deploy it in the most effective way possible.

Today’s session on Innovative philanthropy and outcomes-based funding will explore the unique opportunity of combining financial sophistication and knowhow with good intentions. Because if we really want to achieve development goals that are measurable and scalable, we need to harness the power of the private sector. And social and blended finance are key to getting us there. Join Phyllis Kurlander Costanza, Head of Social Impact and CEO, UBS Optimus Foundation for a conversation with Safeena Husain, Founder and Executive Director, Educate Girls, and Priya Sharma, Managing Director, Scalable Innovation, Private Sector Engagement Hub, USAID.
