Impact at the heart of every decision

Creating new National Partners (NPs)

A major component of our work is to establish new NPs and empower each one to develop and strengthen its capabilities.

Supporting existing National Partners

Individual NPs benefit from a comprehensive, ongoing support programme to strengthen their operational capacity and equip them with practical ‘how to’ guides. To tailor the right level of support, we conduct regular meetings with National Partner leadership teams, providing ongoing advice in support of their workplans.

Fostering connectivity and sharing knowledge

All NPs can join GSG Impact Coalitions of Action. These are action-oriented working groups that leverage our knowledge development and policy insights, driving cross-learning with partner organisations and key experts and creating spaces to develop common policy recommendations and advocacy campaigns.

We develop knowledge innovation tools and associated recommendations to inform policy-making and regulation to develop impact ecosystems and bring about impact economies. As an independent organisation, GSG Impact can bring forward policy innovations and recommendations, free of any commercial or political member interests, and informed by the evidence and insights gained from across the GSG Impact Partnership.

We have ambitions to increase our policy advocacy resources and effectiveness over the next three years and are exploring specific advocacy projects with partners. Our current focus areas are impact transparency and capital mobilisation in emerging markets.

The GSG Impact Partnership provides a unique ‘boots on the ground’ infrastructure to develop strategic, domestic, SME focused impact investing vehicles in emerging markets. 

GSG Impact provides targeted support and resources, including strategic, technical, and financial advisory support to agencies, National Partners, fund managers, and investors, strengthening each stakeholder’s capability to involve relevant international and local partners in the design of these initiatives and ensuring local investors play an active role.

GSG Impact also acts as a trusted channel for international and domestic agencies to fund market scoping and research, and for public and private sector investors to deploy catalytic and commercial capital.

As a recognised and candid adviser to DFIs and their shareholders, we aim to ensure their investment programmes maximise the opportunities to attract additional private sector investment for measurable, positive impact in emerging markets. And we work in conjunction with domestic institutions, supporting the growth of national impact investment ecosystems.
