C-19 has brought about global upheaval. It is affecting our health, our economies and our education. 1.5bn children are currently out of school across the globe. Now, given the disruptions in businesses and our working lives, how we educate people both early stage and throughout our lives will be more important than ever. What role can impact investment play in the recovery of a world post-COVID? Can it help to solve our short-term public health challenges and the social and economic challenges that are already presenting themselves? Dr Amel Karboul, CEO of Education Outcomes Fund, Safeena Husain, the Founder and Executive Director at Educate Girls and Sir Ronald Cohen, the pioneer of impact investment, join James Harding to discuss how outcome funding could give governments and the private sector greater flexibility in finding solutions for a “new normal”.
