IMPACT Programme: building capacity in sustainability reporting and catalytic capital in EMDEs
The FCDO invites proposals by 8 July 2024 to deliver projects that increase capacity on sustainability reporting in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), and strengthen coordination of catalytic capital providers.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) IMPACT Programme aims to strengthen the impact investing sector to address the world’s social and environmental challenges, as set out by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Through providing market-building grants, impact investing can strengthen private sector activities in ways that positively impact stakeholders and communities.
