🌟 Did you know? 🌟 Outcome-based finance has the potential to significantly increase investment in underfinanced sectors that deliver social and environmental impact. It serves as a powerful tool for directing private capital towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). IFC is thrilled to share its latest report on the potential of outcome-based finance to drive social and environmental impact in emerging markets. This study explores: How outcome-based finance can support the growth of clean cooking, distributed renewable energy (DRE), and small-scale agribusiness enterprises, delivering greater impact for gender equality, Base of the Pyramid stakeholders, and other SDGs. Potential outcome buyers and their motivations for using outcome-based finance in the Voluntary Carbon Market and through a standalone SDG-outcomes market. The necessary building blocks and infrastructure to establish a standalone SDG-outcomes market, including potential challenges and opportunities. Innovative examples of outcome-based finance transactions and the companies/organizations enabling wider adoption of this approach in the market. Actionable recommendations for advancing the use of outcome-based finance to support high-impact projects in clean cooking, DRE, and small-scale agribusiness. We invite you to read the full report. Let's work together to unlock the potential of outcome-based finance!
