摘要

可持续地解决我们这个时代最大的社会和环境威胁需要采用包括社会融资在内的各种政策和金融战略的系统方法。在过去的几十年里，许多社会金融战略已经发展成为全球平衡的一个有意组成部分。本文阐述了一种评估促进社会和环境可持续性的社会金融战略的方法，该方法包含复杂性，因此纳入了与可持续影响（社会和金融）密不可分的系统性因素。它展示了对一项社会融资基金的评估，该基金旨在增加流入美国低收入社区的资本，并减少为有色人种和妇女领导的企业创造公平财富的障碍。

Sustainability, systems and investing for impact: Roles for evaluators

Sustainably addressing the greatest social and environmental threats of our time requires a systemic approach employing a variety of policy and financial strategies including social finance. Emerging over the past few decades, numerous social finance strategies have grown to become an intentional part of the global equation. This paper illustrates an approach to evaluating social finance strategies for advancing social and environmental sustainability that embraces complexity and therefore incorporates systemic factors inextricably tied to sustainable impact (both social and financial). It showcases an evaluation of a social finance fund intended to increase the flow of capital into low-income communities in the United States and to reduce the barriers to creating equitable wealth for businesses led by people of color and women.

期刊介绍： Evaluation and Program Planning is based on the principle that the techniques and methods of evaluation and planning transcend the boundaries of specific fields and that relevant contributions to these areas come from people representing many different positions, intellectual traditions, and interests. In order to further the development of evaluation and planning, we publish articles from the private and public sectors in a wide range of areas: organizational development and behavior, training, planning, human resource development, health and mental, social services, mental retardation, corrections, substance abuse, and education.
