Listening to INGOs
INGOs are increasingly exploring impact investing to drive their change. We’ve responded to this trend with resources and peer-to-peer learning opportunities to accelerate that journey, including these four episodes of our podcast, Focus on Impact. Have a listen to get up to speed on how INGOs do impact investing!
In this episode, we explore how International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs) are engaging in impact investing to amplify their impact and missions – together with Paul Ronalds, CEO of Save the Children Global Ventures.
In this episode, we discuss the main findings from our research on how International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs) are engaging in impact investing. Joining us is Antoine Cocle, Interim Director at Boosting Opportunities, the impact investing arm of Ayuda en Acción, who also shares insights into Ayuda en Acción’s journey in this space.
In the first part of this 2-part episode, we dive into the story of Oxfam, one of the world’s largest INGOs present in over 90 countries, and its investee Bioprotect, company based in Burkina Faso dedicated to promoting agroecology and organic farming. Featuring Anais Mangin, Impact Investment Programme Lead at Oxfam, and Claude Arsene Sawadogo, CEO of Bioprotect.
In the second part of this 2-part episode, Anais Mangin, Impact Investment Programme Lead at Oxfam, and Claude Arsene Sawadogo, CEO of Bioprotect, tell us why and how Oxfam’s support has been additional for Bioprotect, the importance of prioritising investees’ needs and Oxfam’s plans to scale its impact investing activities in the future.
