Join us for a new online event on the 15th of October at 12.00 – 14.00 GMT (14.00-16.00 CET) by the Investment Climate Reform (ICR) Facility in partnership with The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC). This event is part of a series of four events looking at social finance in African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. This first event will highlight the many shapes and sizes of social enterprises and related organisational forms across ACP countries, and how these differences inform their financing needs. It seeks to draw out the nuances when discussing the demand side of the social finance ecosystem and where stakeholders’ views converge and diverge; and to identify ways to create an enabling environment for all social enterprises to succeed
