"It makes good business and survival sense to include the majority in all investment and business practices. The world's most complex challenges will eventually affect all of us equally. The approaches used to tackle these challenges so far have not worked, so we need to change course and quickly. Social investment and inclusive business are people centric."

"Although we know that complex global issues need the support of resources from diverse sectors, supportive policy environments, robust infrastructure and strong ecosystems are catalysts to unlocking and deploying such capital more effectively for impact.

To implement this, a continuum of capital providers that supports the growth of inclusive businesses ecosystems need to be developed, and policymakers play an important role in lowering barriers and creating new opportunities for philanthropic and private capital to invest in inclusive businesses."

"We know that the public sector alone cannot solve our complex challenges and the private sector and/or social sector cannot solve the world's challenges by themselves.

We can only begin to witness the transformative power of the Social Investment and Inclusive Business models when all the sectors work together and harness the power of partnerships, using financial and non-financial capital to invest in innovative solutions to drive sustainable development. Good Inclusive Business policy will enable the public sector to enact laws which make doing business easier for the private sector and create other incentives.

This will result in the public sector creating policy, while the private sector creates more economic opportunities for the people at the bottom of the pyramid throughout their value chain, resulting in positive improvement in the conditions and prospects of communities throughout Africa."
