This practice paper is inspired by the learnings of a two-year project carried out in partnership with GSG Impact. The paper shares reflections and lessons from a collaborative venture between our National Partners in Colombia, Nigeria, Ghana, and Peru alongside their local think tank partners within their respective country contexts. 

The paper explores these insights specifically from the perspective of the think tank partner, to complement publications from GSG Impact that focus on the project’s lessons for GSG National Partners and other industry actors.

The project is funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and involves On Think Tanks and the consultancy firm IMPACTO in a learning partner capacity. These collaborations have advanced local impact investing landscapes and contributed to global knowledge sharing..
