FINANCING AGENCY FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: CREATING COLLABORATIVE HYBRID F...
This document discusses financing models for social enterprises. It notes a strategic financing gap for early stage social enterprises that are too large for philanthropists but too small and risky for institutional investors. It introduces FASE, a financial intermediary in Germany that builds bridges between social entrepreneurs and investors. FASE has provided over 4 million Euros to 12 social enterprises through various hybrid financing models that blend grants and impact investments. These models allow financing of social enterprises both with and without profitability. The document also summarizes two international examples where FASE helped social enterprises in Austria obtain financing. It concludes with policy recommendations to further develop markets for social enterprise finance.

This document provides tips for public policy measures to support social finance communities based on lessons learned. It recommends developing common definitions and frameworks, building evidence to understand the market size and needs, and supporting intermediaries to create efficient ecosystems. Public administrations should convene stakeholders, provide services, and facilitate sharing good practices. They can also generate public and private demand and introduce fiscal incentives to channel private funds to social enterprises. Transparency, coordination across levels of government, and enabling fiscal frameworks are important to maintain trust while allowing the private sector to develop sustainable markets.
Seb Elsworth, Access
Introducing Access, a new organization launched in March 2015 to bridge the gap in social investment between what charities and social enterprises need and what fund managers can offer. Access seeks to address the mismatch in demand and supply of social investment through its £22.5m Growth Fund and £60m endowment for capacity building programs. The Growth Fund will provide loans and grants to social investment finance intermediaries to develop new products and services that can support charities and social enterprises with smaller, riskier loans and investments typically under £150k. The endowment will fund capacity building programs over 10 years to help more organizations raise social investment and win contracts to be more sustainable.

– Vietnamese Green Growth Strategy: Promoting SME Growth
The document summarizes Vietnam's efforts to promote green growth and sustainable development, particularly through supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It outlines Vietnam's National Green Growth Strategy and various financing programs and funds established by the government and other organizations to provide loans, loan guarantees and grants for SME green technology and renewable energy projects. However, it notes that both demand-side and supply-side barriers currently prevent SMEs from fully accessing green financing opportunities. Going forward, further policy efforts are needed to strengthen green finance practices and incentives in Vietnam.

Small-scale finance for water and sanitation: World Water Week 2011 - Sophie ...SHARE (Sanitation and Hygiene Applied Research for Equity)
The document discusses small scale finance for water and sanitation infrastructure. It notes that small scale agents like households, community organizations, and small private enterprises face financing constraints. Public finance can help by bridging capacity gaps and softening loan terms. The document provides examples of microfinance programs and funds in India that provide "toilet loans" for sanitation. It also discusses the potential roles and challenges for EU donors in supporting small scale finance for water and sanitation.Session 6 - Presentation by Manuel Adamini, Climate Bonds Initiative
The Climate Bonds Initiative works to mobilize debt capital markets for climate solutions. It informs the market through data and analysis, protects integrity through standards and certification, and cooperates through partnerships. Climate bonds are bonds linked to climate projects through use of proceeds. Issuers include governments, corporations, and securitized assets. There is huge investor demand for green investments. The green bond market has grown significantly in recent years but remains small relative to total debt markets. Empirical evidence is emerging that green bonds price tighter than conventional bonds, known as the "greenium".

This document discusses partnerships between aid and the private sector for sustainable development. It begins by outlining the interest donors have in engaging with the private sector and criticisms of public-private partnerships. It then examines case studies of partnerships that achieved both developmental and commercial success. Key partnership principles that led to sustainable development outcomes are identified from the cases. The document proposes piloting partnerships and establishing a platform at the OECD to provide policy guidance, encourage pilots, and build evidence and transparency around partnerships between aid and the private sector.
Effective instruments for pro-poor finance
International processes to agree universal Sustainable Development Goals and implement a global deal on climate change highlight an urgent need for finance to flow to low-income groups, who will bear the main costs of adapting to climate change and who have the greatest need for financial security.
Poor households and businesses need finance to improve their resilience to climate-related shocks, to access services such as health and education and to invest in income-generating activities that improve productivity and add value. But how can we get this vital finance to them?
This presentation showcases real examples of instruments that can get finance to those who need it most.
This presentation is based on the briefing 'Beyond loans: instruments to ensure the poor access climate and development finance' --> http://pubs.iied.org/17318IIED.html.

This document discusses microfinance for sanitation and its potential role in addressing the global sanitation crisis. It notes that 2.6 billion people lack access to improved sanitation and that microfinance can help households invest in sanitation facilities. Examples from Vietnam, India, and limited experiences in Tanzania show how microfinance has enabled hundreds of thousands of households to access sanitation.

It provides guidance on selecting partners and determining what assistance may be needed based on the local financial context.

In this presentation, Sophie Trémolet looks at the role of public intervention including donor agencies) to stimulate the market of microfinance for sanitation.
