State of the Sector Report - 2021
Canada's time to show leadership in impact investing globally
December 2021
CAFIID's 2021 Sector Report tracks the scale, trends, and outlook for Canadian impact investing in developing and emerging economies in 2020, building on CAFIID's baseline 2019 Report. Impact investments aim to generate measurable social, environmental, and financial returns, most often aligned to one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Report profiles Canada's ecosystem – the players, their geographic and sector reach, how they deploy and measure investments, and much more. We identify critical areas of national leadership. Through extensive research and interviews with thought-leaders, we also lay out the challenges to be met to mobilize additional capital to meet the SDGs and CAFIID’s commitments to growing the sector.
