Wirkungsvoll philanthropisch investieren – Wissenschaft und Praxis
3. July 2023 – Mannheim Palace
Foundations, public institutions, socially oriented companies and sustainable investment funds are making increasingly important contributions to the international fight against poverty, hunger and the consequences of climate change through their philanthropic engagements. To make development projects and impact investments even more effective and efficient, it is necessary to consolidate funding and thereby pool the risk of individual investors. Conversely, to ensure that funds can generate the greatest possible impact, we need to measure impact and learn what works and why. These findings should increasingly be integrated into the strategic management of programs and projects. With a holistic approach C4ED is uniting investments and accompanying your development projects with an impact evaluation, so that you can contribute to improving the lives of the poor and vulnerable by making development interventions more effective.
