Financing Impact

The Insights for Action seminar series explores how researchers and practitioners within and beyond Oxford are using research insights to drive social change. In this seminar we will discuss impact finance. Drawing on insights from the work of Acumen and UNDP, and lessons from the broader field, what forms of financing are needed to support systemic social change?
