The launch is to drive dialogue on what action is needed in Ghana to contribute to the $43billion SDG financing gap.
Impact Investing Ghana has a goal of driving collaboration to significantly increase private sector funding for development. The goal is to share what the data shows needed to happen for Ghana to generate the funding it needs from the private sector to fuel its development. The report and dialogue will set the stage for this action to begin as we work together to build a more prosperous Ghana.
