1. DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT

Impact investing is the allocation of assets (in the form of investments) into companies or organizations with the aim of bringing about positive social or environmental impact while also anticipating profit from such investments. Impact investment challenges the long-held view that social and environmental issues should be addressed only by philanthropic donations and that market investments should focus exclusively on achieving financial returns.

The strategy actively seeks to make a positive impact by investing, for example, in nonprofits that benefit the community or in clean-technology enterprises that benefit the environment.

This led to the Organisation of African Unity in 1963 up until the formation of Regional Economic Communities from the 1970s; the desire for closer integrated trade has dominated proceedings at several intergovernmental dialogues.
