Humanitarian Investing
Mobilizing Capital to Overcome Fragility
World Economic Forum, 2019
What's inside?
A world beset by wars and natural disasters needs a market for humanitarian investing.
Recommendation
Some two billion people around the world live in places where their lives are plagued by “fragility, conflict and violence.” Yet despite a desire by investors to make positive improvements in vulnerable communities, viable opportunities to both help people and earn a return are scarce. This important report from the World Economic Forum and the Boston Consulting Group is a loud appeal to investors, development banks, governments and NGOs to refashion cooperative approaches to building a humanitarian investment market.
