"Catalyzing Capital for Impact," Yasmina Zaidman, Chief Development and Partnerships Officer, Acumen Fund
Between US$ 3.3-4.5 trillion per year needs to be mobilized to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The financing gap to achieve the SDGs in developing countries is estimated to be US$ 2.5 – 3 trillion per year (UNCTAD World Investment Report, 2014). To close this gap, capital of every kind needs to be mobilized from across the public, private and philanthropic sectors. This workshop will enable participants to share their successes and challenges in mobilizing capital to drive large-scale global social impact, especially for vulnerable people. In particular, we will explore how different kinds of capital are being pooled through public private partnerships and blended capital to bring stakeholders together around global issues like gender equity, climate resilience, and food security.
