From pilot to scalable impact - Integrating humanitarian expertise and impact investing for refugees and their host communities

23 Oct 2025
Innovative Finance Pavilion and Conference
The RIF seeks to address the challenges of unemployment, lack of economic opportunity and limited access to services and goods that are faced by refugees and their host communities. The impact-linked loans provided through the RIF will allow the enterprises to maintain or build their focus on refugee and host community populations, grow their business, and be financially rewarded through interest rate reductions for direct and measurable impacts they have on the refugee and host communities they are serving. The RIF is co-managed by iGravity and the Danish Refugee Council.
