Grow Asia has launched four public-private impact funds to accelerate sustainable agricultural transformation in Southeast Asia.
These Impact Funds will channel more than USD 20M over the next three years into strengthening Southeast Asia’s food, agriculture, and forestry sectors.
​
The funds serve as a co-matching mechanism between public-sector funding and private-sector investments. This innovative blended-finance model ensures public funds are channelled into programs with long-term commercial impact for Southeast Asia’s farmers and rural enterprises, and private investments are channelled into programs with positive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes.
​
Unlike conventional impact funds managed by investment managers who make equity or debt investments with the intent of delivering financial returns alongside social or environmental gains, Grow Asia's Impact Funds seek to maximize impact over returns.
