Mark Harwood - SEED, Innovation and Brokers

Welcome to Episode 21 of Good Will Hunters! This week on the show we have Mark Harwood. Mark leads the Social Enterprise and Economic Development (SEED) Unit of World Vision, with a focus on inclusive business, economic opportunities for women and impact investment. Mark and I met a few months back in Jakarta, where we were participating in a workshop on impact investment, and specifically how to promote gender-lens investment to the region. Mark's insights were fascinating in Jakarta, and they're equally as fascinating in this episode! We chat about what "innovation" actually means for the SEED program, the challenges women face in securing impact investment, and the role the private sector can play now and in the future If you enjoy this episode, please leave us a review on iTunes and connect with us on Facebook and Instagram @goodwillpod.
