In October, GSG Impact published a toolkit titled “Towards Impact Economies: Aligning government action and private capital for public good – a policymaker’s toolkit,” which aims to guide policymakers in building impact economies. The toolkit demonstrates how policymakers are increasingly moving beyond public spending and isolated injections of private capital, instead utilizing “impact economy” approaches to achieve national priorities for their citizens. Drawing on real-world examples from over 20 countries, the resource offers policymakers 14 best-in-class mechanisms, ranging from bonds to regulations, that can be combined to construct new economic models designed to address major challenges such as affordable housing, healthcare, and local job creation.
