Linking Financing to Measurable Education Outcomes in Colombia: Insights from the Impact-Linked Fund for Education
Join us for a high-level convening on how impact-linked finance is being used to improve education and skills outcomes in Colombia.
Over the past year, the Impact-Linked Fund for Education, supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Jacobs Foundation, has been actively developing a portfolio of education enterprises in the country. Through a structured process of ecosystem research and pipeline development, more than 50 organizations have been screened, over 15 enterprises have been evaluated, and four transactions have already been signed with Colombian education companies, providing them with funding and technical assistance.
The event will bring together funders, practitioners, and education enterprises to share practical insights, early implementation experiences, and opportunities for collaboration. Secure your spot today, as seats are limited.
