Last Thursday, we were honoured to host a sharing session with the delegates from Claremont Graduate Universityabout the impact investing landscape and the role of Social Impact Businesses (SIBs) in Vietnam.

The group had a passionate and fruitful discussion about the vital role NPOs and NGOs play in socio-economic development and achieving the SDGs, but they face challenges due to the lack of a unified legal framework and unstable funding.

With approximately 27,000 SIBs in the Vietnamese ecosystem, Impact Link Asia CEO Ms Thao Lam took a deep dive into the key challenges that SIBs encounter such as limited capital, business management capacity, and market access.

To address these challenges, Impact Link is thrilled to release the first-ever Mission Capacity Assessment (MCA) toolkit! This innovative tool empowers organizations to overcome obstacles, optimize their impact, and drive social change more effectively than ever before.
