Hosted with IFC
This session looked at how we can advance women’s economic participation on a healthy planet. Outcome-based finance is unlocking investment for high-impact projects in clean cooking, renewable energy, and agribusiness. But how can we expand engagement beyond impact investors and governments to include businesses seeking both financial and social returns? This session explores the business case for outcome-based finance, emerging models, and strategies to scale investment that delivers social, environmental, and commercial benefits.
