Innovative Finance Solutions for Humanitarian Action

The global humanitarian sector is undergoing a significant transformation. The recent closure of USAID, once the world’s largest donor, has underscored the limitations of relying solely on traditional funding sources to address pressing global challenges such as the climate crisis and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 
In response to this evolving landscape, KOIS, an international impact finance firm, and MzN International, a global social enterprise supporting humanitarian organizations, have partnered to launch Human Planet. This global impact accelerator was announced during the Humanitarian Finance Summit in London on February 14th and aims to bridge the funding gap by connecting private capital with high-impact humanitarian and climate initiatives.

As part of this initiative, AidEx is hosting this webinar on Thursday 20th March at 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET / 10:00 EDT, in partnership with KOIS and MzN International, to explore how NGOs can tap into innovative finance solutions to secure sustainable funding and scale their impact.
The webinar will:

  • Introduce Human Planet: Explaining how the accelerator helps NGOs become investment-ready and secure private capital

  • Explore Innovative Finance Solutions: Presenting concrete examples of blended finance, impact funds, result-based financing, impact bonds, and other alternative funding mechanisms

  • Showcase successful case studies: Highlighting real-world examples of NGOs and social enterprises that have successfully leveraged innovative finance to scale their impact

  • Provide actionable guidance: Equipping organisations with practical insights on structuring financing, attracting investors, and navigating the impact investment landscape

Speakers include:

  • Benoit Renard, Co-Founder & CEO, Tiko

  • Audrey Selian, Director, Artha Impact

  • Christian Meyer zu Natrup, Managing Director, MzN International

  • Hayley Kornblum, Project Manager, IKEA Foundation
