To development decision makers out there who want their organisations to be more financially stable and viable (and for grantmakers who want to foster that sustainability as well): Fathom Performance IS HOSTING A FREE WEBINAR! As a part of Global Evaluation Initiative's gLocal event in June, I will be running a workshop on financial viability and sustainability in the development sector. This webinar is for any decision maker who would like to lessen their organisation's dependency on (often volatile) grant funding cycles to keep their doors open. How can stronger evaluation practice and other strategies untether your organisation from the tenuous grant-funding cycle that demands huge administrative cost and mission-obscuring adherence to current funding priorities? And grantmakers, what options do you have for lessening dependency and strengthening the sector to be less reliant and better equipped to create sustainable change? Join this action-based, put-into-practice practical workshop to find out!

In the latest issue of The Water Report, our Technical Director for Innovation and convenor of the Water Innovator Alliance, Ian Small, tackles a big challenge in the Water sector, especially for startups and founders - lack of follow-through after successful trials.  Too often, proven solutions that could benefit customers, society, and the environment hit a 'bottomless chasm’ when scaling up. Reflecting on this issue, Ian is quoted: “Too many of our members have experienced the chasm firsthand when working with water companies and the supply chain. Despite successful trials, scaling up solutions can feel impossible.”  The Alliance was formed to drive change, support innovators, and push the industry to adopt solutions that deliver real impact. Through case studies and advocacy, they are challenging the status quo and responding to key proposals like Ofwat’s implementation fund for AMP8.  📰 Dive into ‘Dodging the Valley of Death’ to learn more - https://lnkd.in/ecqxGAwQ . #WaterInnovation #UtilityLeadership #Collaboration

How can we channel more institutional money into sustainable food and agriculture? BloombergNEF is extending its industry-leading research and data capabilities into this space, and we are meeting with leading farmland investors at the Global AgInvesting gathering in New York this week to explore further. According to BloombergNEF, $1.8 trillion of capital was invested in the energy transition space in 2023. However, despite agriculture and food systems being responsible for one-third of the world's GHG emissions, the sector currently receives a minimal share of private money flowing into climate solutions. This is despite the fact that the sector holds the keys to combatting nature loss and food insecurity. My colleague Alexander Liddington recently identified large institutional and corporate investors in farmland.
