The Global Social Impact Investment Steering Group (GSG) was established in August 2015 as the successor to the Social Impact Investment Taskforce, established by G8. The GSG is continuing the work of the Taskforce in catalysing a global social impact investment market across a wider membership. Its members include 13 countries plus the EU, as well as active observers from government and from leading network organisations supportive of impact investment.
Across the world, attitudes are changing. Old certainties about tightly defined roles for government, civil society and business are dissolving. Social sector organisations are becoming more business-like, and business is looking ever more to delivering sustainable value.

Social entrepreneurs go mainstream
Never let a crisis go to waste. Social entrepreneurs take this economic upheaval to be a blessing, providing a chance for business to transition from an anonymous, complex system to one that is direct and transparent.
Andrew Tolve | March 2009 issue
Oxford’s Saïd Business School student Claire Williams co-founded Hope Runs in Kenya to use running to empower AIDS orphans. Social entrepreneurship is “about creating sustainable businesses that work for the benefit of both the social good and the bottom line,” she says.

In the wake of the 2008 financial flameout, most business people are, to put it mildly, downbeat. Banks aren't lending, consumers aren't spending and the prospects for the rest of the year seem grim. All of which makes social entrepreneurs, well, intensely—even passionately—optimistic.
"This is a slam dunk," says Willy Foote, the founder of Root Capital, which provides loans to rural businesses in Latin America, Africa and Asia. "The Wall Street meltdown provides a chance to think about how we transition from a financial system that is complex, opaque and anonymous to one that is direct and transparent."
The world seems ready for such a change. In the middle of one of the farthest-reaching financial collapses in history, U.S. President Barack Obama came into office faced with the challenge of delivering on his promise of change. People are tired of business as usual. The exasperation is palpable, but so is the hope that this time, we can and will do things differently. Social entrepreneurs have always believed this, and for many, it's their moment to shine.
"In a world where change is escalating exponentially, the only way we'll make it is if everyone has the mindset of a social entrepreneur," says Bill Drayton, a pioneer in the field and founder ofAshoka, which sponsors international leaders in philanthropic business. "The current upheaval is a great opportunity to flip the switch. We need to make everyone a change-maker."
That will require a lot of change. According to Kevin Lynch and Julius Walls, Jr., authors of Mission Inc.: The Practitioner's Guide to Social Enterprise (see excerpt on following page), "A social enterprise is a business whose purpose is to change the world for the common good." That's a tall order, but those at the vanguard of the movement are well placed to make it happen.
The field is "a response to the failure of both business and government to deliver on their promise to society," says Lance Henderson, vice-president of programs and impact at the Skoll Foundation, which, like Ashoka, nurtures transformation around the world. "Social entrepreneurs are very good at innovation and integrating sustainability into society."
Consider reading glasses. People start to lose their eyesight around age 40. In the North, we fix the problem easily at the local drugstore. But in the South, where glasses are far more difficult to find or afford, the problem is.
