Abstract

La inversión privada de impacto es un enfoque de inversión que utilizan fondos de capital, bancas de inversión, instituciones financieras privadas, instituciones financieras de desarrollo (IFD), fundaciones, empresas de Beneficio e Interés Colectivo (BIC), pagadores por resultados, emprendedores sociales, empresas con impacto social y aceleradoras de impacto, con la intención de contribuir a la solución de problemas sociales y/o medioambientales específicos, a la vez que se genera rentabilidad y un impacto positivo medible. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar las acciones prioritarias que el gobierno podría emprender para incluir la inversión privada de impacto en la agenda de política pública desde sus posibles roles en el ecosistema como catalizador, regulador o participante, con el fin de aprovechar la contribución que los recursos privados pueden hacer a cerrar la brecha de financiamiento del desarrollo. El estudio muestra que, si bien Colombia no tiene una política pública específica de inversión de impacto, si cuenta con un conjunto de políticas que han sentado las bases para el desarrollo de la inversión de impacto en el país, por lo cual se requiere de iniciativas para la articulación de los actores gubernamentales, privados y no gubernamentales y del impulso a políticas de tipo expansivo. El estudio también busca hacer recomendaciones para que el National Advisory Board de Inversión de Impacto de Colombia (NAB Colombia) pueda incidir en la política pública compartiendo las mejores prácticas, participando en el diseno de políticas y herramientas de política que promuevan la inversión de impacto e impulsando el relacionamiento público-privado, entre otros aspectos. Este estudio se compone de un documento de soporte que presenta en detalle los hallazgos y recomendaciones que dieron a origen a las acciones propuestas y de un Policy Brief.****** Abstract: Private impact investment is an investment approach used by capital funds, investment banks, private financial institutions, development financial institutions (DFIs), private foundations, Benefit and Collective Interest (BIC) companies, pay for results organizations, social entrepreneurs, companies seeking social impact and impact accelerators, with the intention of contributing to the solution of specific social and/or environmental problems, while generating profitability and a measurable positive impact. The objective of this study is to identify the main actions that the government could undertake to include private impact investment in the public policy agenda from its possible roles in the ecosystem as a catalyst, regulator, or participant, in order to take advantage of the contribution that private resources can make to closing the development financing gap. The study shows that, although Colombia does not have a specific impact investment public policy, it does have a set of policies that have laid the foundations for the development of impact investment in the country. Therefore, policy initiatives are required for the articulation of governmental, private and non-governmental actors, and the impulse to expansive policies. The study also seeks to make recommendations so that the National Impact Investing Advisory Board of Colombia (NAB Colombia) can catalyze public policy by sharing best practices, participating in the design of policies and policy tools that promote impact investing and promoting public-private relations, among other aspects. This study is made up of a supporting document that presents in detail the findings and recommendations that gave rise to the proposed actions and a Policy Brief.
