About us
Invest for Impact Nepal (IIN) is a ground-breaking collaboration between Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) and Development Partners to unlock and accelerate transformative foreign investments to speed up growth, create jobs, and assist in the development of an equitable and sustainable economy in Nepal. IIN aims to achieve this by enabling Financial Institutions (FIs) and Private Equity and Venture Capital (PEVC) funds access resources and expertise from DFIs and impact investors for investment into Nepali businesses and develop the emerging investment ecosystem. It has been recognised by the Oxford Fragility Forum, the leading forum that brings together DFIs for an action-oriented discussion on how to improve investment in fragile and conflict-affected environments, as one of the most successful global examples of collaboration. IIN is established by British International Investment (BII), the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank (FMO), and the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC) to complement existing efforts to attract DFI investment to support private sector growth. The IIN initiative commenced in February 2021 to research and understand the investment market and ecosystem constraints. Since August 2022, it translated these findings into implementation. This phase of the programme will run until July 2025.

"We also initiated market creation activities through programs such as ARIA and Invest for Impact Nepal. ARIA, a joint initiative with BII, aims to address systemic barriers in frontier markets in Africa. Invest for Impact Nepal, established by BII, SDC, and ourselves, focuses on ecosystem constraints supporting local financial institutions and private equity funds."- Jorim Schraven, Director of Impact at FMO. #marketshaping #BII #FMO #SDC #Investforimpactnepal
How do you create new, investible markets? Our Impact Director Jorim Schraven shares insights on our innovative #marketcreation strategy in (in Dutch). There's an annual USD 4 trillion financing gap necessary to bridge if we want to achieve the SDGs by 2030, so it's critical that we develop new markets in #emergingmarkets for impactful projects to thrive, even if they aren't financeable now. Through market creation, we aim to foster a new generation of impactful entrepreneurs and projects by breaking barriers that stifle growth and prevent investors from investing. But how exactly do we do this? Read the interview below (in Dutch), or click this link to learn more about market creation: https://lnkd.in/dGxskVz3

British International Investment and FMO - Dutch entrepreneurial development bank in collaboration with Joint Impact Model Foundation and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP has released a guidebook to help companies, investors, and fund managers in #emergingmarkets have a better understanding of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). #sustainablefinance #emergingmarkets
We've just released our guide to help companies, investors, and fund managers in #emergingmarkets have a better understanding of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). The SDFR was introduced by the European Commission to improve transparency, reduce #greenwashing and direct capital towards more sustainable investments. Since the EU has various sustainability measures that are interrelated and at different stages of development, it can be difficult to navigate, particularly for fund managers, as they are expected to provide objective, transparent and quantifiable #ESG performance information. To help support our portfolio with understanding how these global regulations apply to them in an emerging economies context, we've released this Guidance Note in collaboration with the Joint Impact Model Foundation, British International Investment, and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. Access and download our guide below.
