摘要

撒哈拉以南非洲地区长期存在的营养不良和粮食不安全问题要求在常规融资和干预措施之外进行创造性的尝试。影响投资值得考虑。中小型企业(SMEs)影响着非洲的饮食和健康结果,可能是一个投资机会。营养食品融资机制(N3F)旨在利用混合影响力投资改善营养状况。我们以 N3F 为范例,介绍了这种改善食品环境的新方法。N3F 为中小企业提供资金和技术支持,以提高国内食品环境中更多营养食品的可获得性和可负担性。我们考虑了这种方法的机遇和挑战。

Improving nutrition through blended finance and impact investing in small and medium enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa

Persistent malnutrition and food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa demand creative experimentation beyond conventional financing and interventions. Impact investing merits consideration. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) shape diets and health outcomes in Africa and may present an investment opportunity. The Nutritious Food Financing Facility (N3F) aims to harness blended impact investing for improved nutrition. We describe this novel approach to enhancing food environments using as a model the N3F, which provides financial and technical support to SMEs to increase the availability and affordability of more nutritious foods in domestic food environments. We consider both the opportunities and challenges of this approach.
