Join Patrick O. Okigbo III and Etemore Glover for a thoughtful and grounded conversation on one of the most important questions in development today. Nextier: Building the society we want to live in.

And what must change over the next decade for impact investing to make a real difference in poverty reduction, job creation, and inclusion.

Across this conversation, key questions will also include: How can impact capital be better aligned with national and local development priorities? What role do policy, regulation, and data play in attracting long-term investment and improving accountability?

Etemore has played a central role in shaping Nigeria’s impact investing ecosystem, including helping to establish the National Advisory Board for Impact Investing and working with investors, development finance institutions, and policymakers to increase the flow of impact capital
