TIA partners John Simon and Arthur Wood have just completed working with FMO (the Dutch development agency) on a follow-up event to the March Hague meeting (which TIA also helped convene with the key Northern European Development Finance Institutions). The three day work session hosted last week in conjunction with the Tallberg Forum in Sweden with a cross section of leaders from the development agencies of European Governements, Citizens Sector leaders and key Impact Investors achieved a remarkable consensus as to the importance of five key areas of development, namely:
1- leveraging new civil society distribution channels;
2 - innovative use of capital, both private and public;
3 - enabling legal and tax structures;
4 - the need for new financial intermediaries;
5 - the importance of the development of new collaborative outcome models.
The focus of the meeting was identifying where government could create or leverage more effective finance flows for development. This forms part of a broader process TIA continues to actively support. You can read more about Tallberg Foundation and download the Hague Report or Summary Report here.
