IMPACT Programme: building capacity in sustainability reporting and catalytic capital in EMDEs

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) IMPACT Programme aims to strengthen the impact investing sector to address the world’s social and environmental challenges, as set out by the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Through the provision of market-building grants, impact investing can strengthen private sector activities in ways that positively impact stakeholders and communities.

The IMPACT Programme is inviting partners to submit proposals to deliver projects related to:

• growing capacity on sustainability reporting in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) (part A)
• strengthening the coordination of catalytic capital providers (part B)

These activities will:

• support networks within EMDEs to adopt and apply the new International Sustainability Standards (ISSB S1 & S2) and participate in future standard-setting consultations

• support the creation of tools or methodologies for enterprises and investors to measure, disclose and allocate capital to address environmental and social risks and opportunities

• strengthen coordination and collaboration within impact investment sectors in EMDEs
