Why give through a social investment at the South-South Exchange?
Pilot South-South Exchange investors make a social investment in human development rather than just a donation. This means they have a better understanding of how people's lives will change because of their giving. Their measure of success is not the amount given, but the tangible life-changing results that their investments produce. Social investors become stakeholders in pilot South-South Exchange projects, getting regular updates on how their investment is being spent and what impact it is having.
The pilot South-South Exchange facilitates performance-based social investment and helps build a culture of accountability among beneficiary organizations. By supporting the sharing of experiences among institutions from developing countries, pilot South-South social investors are not only funding a human development project with direct impact, but are also helping develop the capacity of the cooperating organizations and the transfer of knowledge and experiences among them, so that they can continue to implement these for the benefit of their communities long after the cooperation project is completed.
Investors become shareholders in pilot South-South Exchange projects, getting regular updates on how their investment is being spent and what kind of impact it is having.
