Creating the Next Generation of Funding

Alternative Finance refers to non-traditional ways to finance and deliver development outcomes from private or public sources. New financial mechanisms and technologies include crowdfunding, social and development impact bonds, pay-for-success systems, forecast-based financing, and equity-based investments in social good projects.  These approaches are being used to access financing that can contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
