Can the Impact Movement widen and deepen in Ghana? Galvanized by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world is shifting to a new impact economy where risk, return, and impact guide our decisions. What do leading impact investors, impact entrepreneurs and policy-makers think?
Join DFID, GSG, and notable national and global leaders in this Ghana Impact Dialogue about the critical role Ghana and the African continent play in the improved version of capitalism (Capitalism 2.0).
