 2015 is a critical year in which to set the financing framework for global development for the decade to come. Current policy, financing and investment patterns are not delivering the future we want. Global inequality is increasing. We need change. A powerful solution to promoting sustainability is to mobilize capital flows to developing countries by combining public and private resources through blended finance. Blended finance investments deliver on three elements. Impact. It contributes to social and economic growth in developing markets. Returns. It mitigates risk whilst maximizing returns. Leverage. It uses public and philanthropic funding to mobilize private investment. It's innovative, bold and transformative. It puts people first. Through blended finance, committed governments, investors and other stakeholders can together help to create an inclusive and sustainable future for developing countries. The future we want can be achieved. The time to act is now.
