The Forum

Governments across the globe have begun to invest in social innovation and social finance. From Ghana to Canada, and the United Kingdom to South Korea, governments are harnessing innovation to move the needle on complex social, economic and environmental challenges that matter to their constituents.

These remarkable investments in social innovation are enabling communities to respond to pervasive issues and or realize their aspirations more effectively than before. We are in the midst of a global renaissance in which we are collectively accelerating the growth of sustainable finance tools and connecting international communities of practice. This important local and international work is a unique and viable opportunity to unlock the private and philanthropic capital needed to tackle pressing challenges.

The inaugural SFWF23 - Sustainable Finance World Forum convened in Accra, Ghana December 10th – 12th 2023 was a three-day remarkable hybrid experience that brought together social purpose organizational leaders, social enterprise practitioners, policymakers, stakeholders in mission driven businesses, government, academia and civil society to discuss long-term and sustainable global prosperity. This three-day gathering advanced awareness of sustainable finance as a tool used since time immemorial in communities and cultures across the world. Sustainable finance is an expanding and remarkable global mechanism for social impact.
