Global South Impact Community (GSIC)
Elevating the voice of the Global South
The Global South Impact Community (GSIC) is a group of impact leaders, predominantly from the Global South, convened by IVPC at The Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center in July 2022 to generate new ways of thinking about development in the Global South in a post-pandemic world. We are currently working with the GSIC to further build this community and harness the potential of Global South leaders.
COP27
Unlocking capital into climate action
IVPC and Laudes Foundation, in partnership with WINGS, convened a group of capital providers on the sidelines of COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt in November 2022. As we recover from the pandemic while striving for Net Zero, it is more important than ever for global collaboration and catalytic finance to be leveraged for the transition to a green, resilient, and inclusive future.
About The Global Alliance of Impact Networks
What we do
The Global Alliance of Impact Networks (GAIN) is a formal collaboration between the leading regional networks for social investment in Europe (EVPA), Asia (AVPN), Latin America (Latimpacto), and Africa (AVPA) to focus on big bet initiatives that accelerate capital for impact.
Powered by the insights and deep relationships of our networks, the Alliance serves as an innovation hub at the nexus of our 4 regional networks to amplify the regional offering of each network through global initiatives. Current priorities of GAIN include promoting catalytic capital, elevating Global South voices in development finance, and advocating for increased funding for globally relevant causes like climate action and gender equality.
Informed by more than a decade of ecosystem-building experience through our community of 1100+ capital providers across 70 countries, we are well-positioned to unlock more impact capital across the full continuum (grants to debt and equity), as well as provide connectivity to a vibrant ecosystem of unusual allies ranging from philanthropic foundations and impact investors to corporate impact vehicles, financial institutions, and intermediaries.
The Global Alliance of Impact Networks aims to strengthen the social investment ecosystem around the world, leveraging our shared strength and unique approach:
Glocal
Community-driven and Benefiting from Global Information Exchange
Diverse
Breaking silos to Activate Multi-sector Stakeholders
Inclusive
Leveraging All Forms of Capital including Financial, Human and Intellectual
Collaborative
