Funding, Power and Community Development
Author: McCrea, NiamhPublisher: Policy Press
ISBN: 1447336186
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This edited collection critically explores the funding arrangements governing contemporary community development and how they shape its theory and practice. International contributions from activists, practitioners and academics consider the evolution of funding in community development and how changes in policy and practice can be understood in relation to the politics of neoliberalism and contemporary efforts to build global democracy from the ‘bottom up’. Thematically, the collection explores matters such as popular democracy, the shifting contours of the state-market relationship, prospects for democratising the state, the feasibility of community autonomy, the effects of managerialism and hybrid modes of funding such as social finance. The collection is thus uniquely positioned to stimulate critical debate on both policy and practice within the broad field of community development.

Book Description
The citizen sector is rising worldwide. Social initiatives and enterprises have provided much needed products and services to improve poor people's quality of life. In many countries, the citizen sector has grown faster than the public sector and the business world, and has created millions of new jobs. To meet the challenges of upscaling and replicating successful operations, social pioneers have begun to adopt business models and management strategies from the market economy - they have become "social entrepreneurs." The development of their social enterprises is often severely compromised by the lack of adequate financial resources. The search for innovative funding mechanisms for social change has become a top priority of both philanthropic organizations and social entrepreneurs. This book explores the potential of structured social investment products and asset management strategies to give venture philanthropy a broader range of options in providing equity to social enterprises. It inquires into their preconditions, relevance, and outreach to society at large, and asks how innovative approaches can be scaled to improve their impact.
Investing for Sustainable Development?

Pages : 76
Book Description
"How can investors be encouraged to consider more than purely commercial and short-term gains? Various sets of investment principles have emerged in recent years. These principles aim to incorporate social, environmental and governance criteria into investment decisions in order to enhance the benefits and reduce the damaging effects of investment for development. Increasing numbers of organisations are signing up to these principles for reasons that range from improving their reputation to minimising risks and improving long-term investment prospects. Yet their impact on sustainable development remains unproven. Focusing on four major sets of investment principles - the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the Equator Principles, the Environmental and Social Principles of the European Investment Bank (EIB), and the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises - Investing for sustainable development? takes a first step in assessing the content, take-up, implementation and impact of investment principles. The study finds that the main impact of investment principles on sustainable development so far is mitigation of the worst effects of investments rather than a shift in the underlying basis of decision-making. Investors are generally unwilling to compromise high returns for improved sustainable development outcomes. The authors call for better monitoring and measurement of the impact of investment principles, as well as a better understanding of the broader institutional changes required to support them so the next generation of investment principles can be more ambitious and bring about investment that supports, rather than undermines, sustainable development."--Publisher description.
