The workshop brought together policy makers and officials from IPAs within APEC economies, academia, business experts who shared their experiences on impact investing and the role of IPAs within the APEC region. The workshop was covered in two main parts – Part 1: Best Practices and Approaches to Impact Investing, and Part 2: Roles of IPAs in Impact Investing in the APEC region. Presentations and panel discussions focused on the need for investors to be also transparent, coordinated, and efficient, with policy consultations being the most important factor and for best practices to be shared among the economies since most of these investments are required in APEC’s lower to middle-income economies. Impact Investment must focus on grassroot farmers and digitizing their financial inclusivity and supported at all levels of the community.
