What happens when development actors start imitating finance in development interventions? ✔️Investors are replaced by donors and development workers ✔️Financial tools are replaced by the SDGs ✔️Capital is replaced by gifts Consequences? Well, some of them are: ❗️Entrepreneurs are moved further away from negotiating the value of their startups. ❗️National development prioritisation are to a large extend replaced by the Global goals and the 2030 Agenda. This, and more of my research findings, are shared in my op-ed, published at Devex today! #financeindevelopment #futurehorizons.no #startups
