Webinar: Engaging the Power of Capital to Create Sustainable Livelihoods

Some key takeaways from the discussion include:

- Access to affordable financing is a major obstacle which can be tackled if an enabling regulatory environment to attract private sector and impact investors is enabled by government policies. At wider macro economic level, partnerships between the government, the private sector and the development sector can be beneficial in catalysing capital for training and other capacity building and resource needs of inclusive businesses

- Multi-sectoral partnerships can hugely benefit the growth of inclusive business but are dependent on clear alignment from point of inception.

- At each stage of an inclusive business, the role that investors play changes, and so do the benefits they bring for the business

- Networks such as AVPA and AVPN can help bridge gaps between different types of capital by educating and advocating, to support the growth of inclusive businesses
