As we look ahead to the Financing for Development Conference on June 30th, the global development community faces a critical question: Is blended finance delivering on its promise to mobilize private capital for sustainable development at scale? Or is it time to rethink the approach?
Please join us for a provocative and interactive session featuring two of Washington DC’s prominent thought leaders on blended finance.
Joan Larrea, CEO of Convergence, the global network for blended finance
Kusi Hornberger, Partner at Dalberg and Founder of Scaling Impact Capital
While not a traditional debate, this conversation will include moments of debate-style dialogue, as the speakers engage with differing perspectives on some of the open questions surrounding blended finance today.
Should DFIs and MDBs stop leading blended finance and instead play a backseat role?
Should we reserve concessional capital for market-creating innovations rather than scaling existing models?
Who will be leading the blended finance market five years from now?
Expect an honest, lively exchange—and come ready to participate. We'll reserve plenty of time for audience Q&A and welcome diverse perspectives on what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.
Please plan to arrive by 8am for a light breakfast and networking. The discussion will begin promptly at 8:30.
