Impact investing has spent 20 years perfecting the deal: 💡 Identify the opportunity 📐 Structure the instrument ✅ Deploy the capital But without the underlying infrastructure — the policy frameworks, local intermediaries, domestic capital mobilisation mechanisms, and regulatory architecture — individual investments cannot scale or sustain. 🎧 In this episode, Scott Arnell speaks with Elizabeth Boggs Davidsen, CEO of GSG Impact, the global non-profit building the institutional infrastructure for impact economies across 48 countries. Drawing on two decades at the Inter-American Development Bank, her role creating the UNDP SDG Impact Standards, and her tenure as VP of Development Policy at the US Development Finance Corporation, Elizabeth argues that the critical gap in impact investing is not a shortage of capital — it is a shortage of the systems that allow capital to move effectively. 👉 https://lnkd.in/g5qGea6k #SRI360 #ImpactInvesting #SystemsChange #DevelopmentFinance #GSGImpact #BlendedFinance #ImpactEconomy #CatalyticCapital #EmergingMarkets #SDGs #SustainableInvesting #ElizabethBoggsDavidsen #ResponsibleInvesting
