Description
For blended finance to be a development tool, and to guarantee its integrity, we need to ensure that it generates development impact for the final beneficiaries in emerging markets. This session will explore how much we (don’t) know about the development impacts of blended finance, how practitioners assess them ex-ante and ex-post, and how development finance providers integrate an impact lens when designing blended finance transactions.
