Impact Investing in Education: An Overview of the Current Landscape

This 2013 study maps the landscape of education impact investing, with a view to identify potential areas for intervention by impact investors. It describes the characteristics of impact investment, including sources of capital, investor profiles and preferences, and areas of investment. Its focus is on investments that broaden access to quality education, especially for the most vulnerable populations.
