What You Need to Know about Using Innovative Financing Tools in Fragile Contexts

Earlier this week, InterAction hosted a webinar to introduce members of the NGO community to innovative finance, the various mechanisms and instruments involved, and how they have been – or could be – applied in fragile contexts. The webinar offers a number of cases studies of how NGOs are using innovative finance in fragile contexts, the challenges associated with doing so and a number of lessons learned.

Panelists:

  • Grant Gordon, Director of Innovation Strategy, Airbel Center, International Rescue Committee
  • Rabih Yazbeck, Programme Director, Near East Foundation UK
  • Rob Tashima, Director of Innovations, Village Capital
