Event Recap
On June 14th, 2023, CAFIID convened 97 stakeholders to explore opportunities to advance the commitments CAFIID made in its 2021 State of the Sector Report and to address the barriers inhibiting its growth in an effort to contribute to the development of the global impact investing ecosystem with a focus on emerging economies. Through a series of working groups, the participants examined a variety of issues related to SDG focused impact investing and developed recommendations for CAFIID and the sector. The event also featured the launch of an Impact Measurement and Management Community of Practice (IMM CoP) and working closely with other Canadian impact investing organizations to advance a National Advisory Board on impact investing. These two areas will be critical for advancing impact investing in Canada and around the globe.
Invitation
The Canada Forum for Impact Investment and Development (CAFIID) published the 2021 State of the Sector (SotS) Report, which tracked the scale, trends, and outlook for Canadian impact investing in developing and emerging economies. The report provides a snapshot of Canada’s contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change through impact investing.
CAFIID is hosting an afternoon event to provide a forum for reflection on ways to advance the impact investment in emerging and frontier markets. The event will explore how to strengthen Canada’s contribution to the global impact investing ecosystem by providing members with opportunities to learn, share, collaborate, and act as a collective voice.
