About Convergence Blended Finance
CONVERGENCE is the global network for blended finance. We generate blended finance data, intelligence, and deal flow to increase private sector investment in developing countries. BLENDED FINANCE uses catalytic capital from public or philanthropic sources to scale up private sector investment in emerging markets to realize the SDGs. Our GLOBAL MEMBERSHIP includes public, private, and philanthropic investors as well as sponsors of transactions and funds.
