The Case for Capital Alignment to Drive Development Outcomes

September 2013, John E. Morton and Astri Kimball

John E. Morton and Astri Kimball argue that the tools, resources and energies of philanthropic and private capital can be aligned in pursuit of targeted development challenges in such a way that crowds in private investment capital—both from impact investors and more commercial investors. They make the case that development finance institutions, such as OPIC, are uniquely positioned to be the connector that helps align these groups.
