Conference Agenda Private Finance for Sustainable Development Conference: The Impact Imperative 17- 18 January 2019 OECD Development Co-operation Directorate 46, quai Alphonse le Gallo, 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt, France What will be the focus of the second edition of the PF4SD Conference in 2019? The key theme for the week will be the “impact imperative”, with a focus on the growing necessity for public and private players to tie sustainable development finance with measurable results. Achieving the SDGs will require more effective and efficient ways to address economic, social and environmental challenges as well as deeper engagement between the public and private sectors. In parallel, there is an increasing mandate for evidence on the impact of investment. The goal of the conference is to bring together policy makers, practitioners from the public and private sector, researchers and other experts engaged in delivering impact. Building on recent work by the OECD on Social Impact Investing, Blended Finance, Green Finance, and on The Global Partnership For Effective Development Co-operation’s (GPEDC) evidence on effective private sector engagement through development co-operation, the events during the PF4SD week aim to deliver insights into emerging trends in development finance and efforts to better measure, monitor and evaluate impact. The OECD will also launch its new global Social Impact Investing report, Social Impact Investment: the impact imperative for sustainable development at the PF4SD Conference.

Against the backdrop of the growing interest in sustainable finance and increasing alignment of private sector actors with the SDGs framework, the ability to deliver not just financial returns but also social, environmental and economic outcomes has become imperative. Why is this so critical and how has it shifted the traditional debate about risk and return? This session will build upon the experience and evidence that has been developed through the development finance, green finance and impact investment communities as well as
Conference Agenda the work of the OECD and other international actors in these areas. Our objective is also to show that all three of the different development finance approaches (blended finance, green finance and social impact investments) have been created with a dual purpose: both to mobilise actors and create impact in their respective focus areas. The panel discussion will focus on why the impact imperative is more important now than ever before and why it should have a central place on the international agenda. Seminal research pieces such as the OECD Global Outlook on Financing for Sustainable Development and the newly released Social Impact Investing report will provide further evidence for the discussions.

The Sustainable Development Goals highlight the imperative to reach key targets and achieve greater impact in addressing global challenges. How can the development community ensure that financing for sustainable development is reaching the intended targets and outcomes? How can we leverage the experience and learning to date from the green financing community, the development finance community and the impact investment community to meet the increasing mandate for evidence on the impact of investment? There will be three breakout groups, each focusing on different aspects of taking the impact imperative forward: Principles: What are the core principles of the impact imperative? Who should develop and adopt them? How can they be “enforced”? Frameworks and standards: How can the numerous approaches to impact measurement be coordinated to further advance the practice of impact measurement and management? What types of frameworks and standards would further advance
Conference Agenda the impact imperative and what type of processes would be most effective in developing them? Platforms: How can existing platforms be better linked to unlock the abundance of knowledge and data being collected and shared? How can technology be leveraged to create greater interoperability? The discussion will be informed by the work of the OECD Social Impact Investment Initiative.
