The Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG) makes the case for prioritising urban informality as a core area for impact and development, and emphasise the contribution this would make to achieving the UN SDGs. Over 1 billion people live in slums and informal settlements across the Global South, without formal access to potable water, sewage, or electricity, amongst other deficits.

The Forum explores the role of impact in scaling capital mobilisation to fund slum-upgrading programmes globally.

Informal Settlements: No Longer Invisible

The Humanitarian Finance Forum ('the Forum') was formed to connect global humanitarian actors with resources to access funding through capital markets. We aim to gather leading experts from humanitarian institutions, international organisations, foundations, investment banks, insurance companies and governments, with a common mission to increase funding for humanitarian goals.

Advancing equity is the World Health Organization pandemic treaty&rsquo;s goal. O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, and UNAIDS convened experts in biomedical science, human rights, finance, patient advocacy, and other areas to examine innovative mechanisms.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
On February 15, the O'Neill-FNIH-UNAIDS launched the report, Advancing a World Together Equitably: WHO Collaborating Centre Global Consultation on Equity Models for a Pandemic Agreement in Support of the World Health Organisation and Intergovernmental Negotiating Body.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The report followed the January WHO expert summit in Geneva on the range of possible models in global health law that assert equity as a priority and analysed them for possible inclusion in a new instrument. The Humanitarian Finance Forum was invited to participate in the summit and was represented by Board Member Helen Alderson.

Over 3,000 persons with disability have benefited from physical rehabilitation services in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mali and Nigeria, thanks to the first humanitarian impact bond (HIB). Initiated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 2017, this innovative financing mechanism has proven to be an efficient tool to raise project-driven funding at a time of growing global needs.
&nbsp;
The HIB has been a successful attempt for private and public actors to combine resources and expertise, paving the way for other innovative projects to bring additional resources to address the growing humanitarian finance gap. Investors who trusted the ICRC with this project will receive 100% of their investment back, and even if there will be no financial gain, the human and humanitarian impact is incommensurable.
